Throwing

We started off Tuesday morning with a demonstration of throwing. It was a lot more difficult than Elain made it look.However through much trial and error i managed to make a semi perfect and lumpy bowl :)
For me the elongating of the sides with an even distribution proved most difficult for  me as it was my first time and my over sized hands set me at a handi-cap with the minuscule piece of clay we were using.

The clay we used was hard clay put through a machine to make pugs, here the air was taken out of the clay using rotating machines inside.
