  • 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 6: Handling Thickness and Weight

    • 6.1
      With enough dedicated practice, it doesn't take long to get pots to a point where they'd look balanced and uniform.

    • 6.2
      The key is just not to be too precious at the start and to throw cylinders until they break so you really gain a thorough understanding of the limits of your material.

    • 6.3
      While that might have gone over the process in some detail, I'll spend the rest of this tutorial going over each step in more detail.

    • 6.4
      I'll also discuss how to fix certain things, why some errors arise, and show you many more cross-sections like this to hopefully illustrate what is sometimes quite a difficult process to grasp.

    • 6.5
      Let's discuss the pressure needed to pull up the walls and the theory behind it.

    • 6.6
      If you only apply pressure from the outside, you can see that the form just bows inward.

    • 6.7
      The same is true if you only push from the inside.

    • 6.8
      Instead, what we need is some counter pressure to oppose the force being applied from one side.

    • 6.9
      I pinch with two fingers, and they move up together with a relative amount of pressure.
