Potter's Wheel?
It is a question for anyone who knows a bit with a potter's wheel. Tell me what you can on the tour Potter. My specific question is what is the rotation that creates a bowl? What if you drop the boat, while he is at the wheel? Is it more effective to make the boat on a wheel on a table? and why
Hi Jane, using a potter's wheel many times. When the clay is spinning, it's like a wheel that gets the finger (s) and hands around the room in a radius from the center, then turns the clay almost perfectly circular. Your hands reach 100% of the circumference of the clay each time the wheel turns. You can let go of the pot, and must remain where it is, provided they do not push with one hand or something. It is a balance of circular motion and slight pressure causes clay to take shape. If we try to do with a lump of clay, however, that in essence in their hands in one place, not knowing where the center of the clay is growing at the sides and leaving his hand impressions and points of pressure. The wheel is dynamic, almost like a wood lathe with a cutting tool on a piece of wood. Keep your fingers away from the center, and the whole mass is equal distance from the center. You can make pots on a table, but will not be smooth and round like potting wheel. The fact that it uses a third dimension by using a wheel. It's like taking a compass and circle – of trying to draw a circle freehand. Free hand can circular artistically pleasing to some, but almost perfect circular symmetry of the circles I have for you is easier to obtain wall thickness seamless. You really should go to the local college and make an appointment with an art teacher, or go to a pottery shop. your first call, an appointment and see first hand how it works – is much more instructive to see what to do and I try to make you describe.
