Welcome to the first episode of the How to Make a Raw-Glazed Mug on the Potter’s Wheel series!
In this episode, I’ll talk you through the things I think about to prepare to make a pot on the electric potter’s wheel, such as:
✨The size of pot to make.
✨The type of clay to use.
✨The importance of wedging (also known as kneading) the clay before making anything on the potter’s wheel.
✨How much clay to use to make the pot.
✨Shaping the clay into a ball before starting to make the pot.
✨Having a bucket of water and a tea towel handy to clean your hands when you need to.
