Throwing large porcelain bowls

Throwing large porcelain bowls

About 6 kg of porcelain clay, nice and soft and well prepared.

First I slap the clay into the center with my hands, that'll safes a lot of hard work when throwing.

Then I apply plenty of water and center. I use a sponge in one hand to keep it well rubricated. Once well centred I start coning the clay to make it more workable on the wheel.

Opening the centre and compressing the base.

A couple of pulls and widening into the bowl shape.

Et voilà
