  • Introduction

    • After a lump of clay has been centered and the base formed, the next step in the process is pulling up the walls of the pot and doing that is the topic of this tutorial in which I'll discuss how to pull up the walls alongside showing you any tips and tricks I have together with showing you what to avoid to hopefully get your throwing to a point where you can quickly, evenly, and confidently pull the walls up on the pots you're making. It’s worth noting that this tutorial won't go over centering or opening up and forming the base of your lump of clay as I've already covered those topics in great detail in the two previous tutorials. Both centering and opening up the clay correctly are undeniably important parts of this process and if you attempt to pull the walls up on a pot that's centered poorly or opened up incorrectly you'll only make this next step of pulling the walls up all the more difficult. So let's begin.

  • Step 4: Intermediate Pulls

    • 4.1
      For my next pull, I make sure the walls are wet and then I dig in with my knuckle to create an indentation at the bottom.

    • 4.2
      This pushes in the excess clay into a portion of the walls you'll then be able to pull up.

    • 4.3
      The bump you see above that groove is where my fingers on the inside are pushing out.

    • 4.4
      Once I've set this up, I can push both fingers into these indentations, pinch, and then move them up at a steady rate, forcing the clay upwards.

    • 4.5
      Once again, I move both my hands at a very even, gradual rate.

    • 4.6
      I'm not pinching progressively more firmly as my hands travel up.

    • 4.7
      Instead, once the initial squeeze is made at the bottom and the gap between my fingers is set, I keep my fingers held at that position throughout the entirety of the pull.

    • 4.8
      I don't suddenly squeeze more firmly or suddenly release pressure as I'm going up.

    • 4.9
      The most vital thing at this stage when you're pulling is to just be as consistent with your movements as you possibly can be.
