  • Introduction

    • Now that the walls of the pot have been pulled up and roughly shaped, it's time to go through a series of finishing procedures in order for the thrown vessel to be lifted neatly away from the wheel. There isn’t only one way to do this, and in this tutorial, I’ll show you various techniques together with when to utilize certain ones, what works best for me, and all manner of other tips and tricks.

  • Step 4: Lifting the Pot Off the Wheel

    • 4.1
      Now that the pot has been wired through, the sides of the pot have had the slip scraped off, and with dry hands, it’s now time to lift the pot away.

    • 4.2
      To do this, I’m using mostly the lower sections of my hands; those are the areas that are supplying most of the lift.

    • 4.3
      Try as I might, I want to interfere with the upper sections of the walls as little as possible, instead focusing the pressure around the base and the waist of the pot.

    • 4.4
      I clasp my hands around so contact is made. I don’t squeeze in too much; I just wait until I can feel that the pots and my hands are touching, and then I lift.

      You’ll also notice that in that same moment, I spin the wheel. This breaks any tacky seal there might be between the two parts and helps the vessel lift off cleanly.

        As I lift the pot away, my two hands stay perfectly level so that the pot doesn’t tip to one side too much.

        The key here is a dry pot and dry hands—relatively dry, of course, as the pots at this stage are quite soft, and if you clasp them too tightly, they will just deform.

        Here’s what happens if you try and lift a pot away with wet hands and a wet pot: as both components are wet and slippery, there’s absolutely no way this pot can be removed from the wheel without the walls being heavily distorted and the rim section of the pot warped.
