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.
