Tips for opening large pieces of clay: make sure your wheel speed is slower than normal. As a general rule the smaller the piece of clay the faster your wheel speed, and the larger the slower. For very larger pieces go very slow. Second tip - try throw larger pieces a lot. You will start off kind of bad but you will improve in time, slowly. This will make you a much better thrower over all, cup and regular bowls will later become some much more easy to make.
You are a master teacher, so clear about process! Very grateful to you for all I continue to learn! Thank you!

Renewing a heart for the arts!!
This looks awesome!! I often throw the same way it’s really attentive experience love it
Great demo!
The clay tells you what it wants to be!
Listen carefully and you can hear it talking to you - "I want to be a bottle".
Another great video. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
You are so helpful. Any tips on keeping the inside centered as I open larger pieces of clay on the wheel?
