@KeyushTheStuntDog Год назад

Evan did great at centring on that cheap wheel, they aren't great! You both did so good for your first try! To centre, wedge your elbow into your hip and lock your wrist to the splash tray. Push forward with the palm of your dominant hand and use your other hand to keep it steady and then engage your bicep. Full speed for centring, then go slower the taller and wider it gets. And make sure your hands stay wet or the clay will stick to them.

"Is that centered?" One of my instructors always said "If you have to ask, it's not."

You two did great. What a fun video.

@EmberGlowTreasures Год назад

As a professional potter this made my week! Y’all did great for a first try! Your clay was probably not wet enough to start though. You have to wedge water into it (and that is long before you bring it to the wheel. That step makes a huge difference). I’d love to see you try again sometime! 😁

@therussianprincess7036 Год назад

@@derAtze I can’t really ask her to properly prep it bc she’s got school so all she does is make sure there’s enough water in my clay bucket so that it doesn’t take me ages to get it into a working consistency when I come in.

@themothjam Год назад

as someone who's done ceramics for a few years but only started throwing last year, you guys seriously did really good!!! it looked as though evan's clay was too soft and katelyn's too hard. if you wanted to do this again, here are some tips I've gathered from my teachers! - getting the clay ready to be thrown is called wedging, and though the movements are similar to kneading, you're actually trying to do the opposite! wedging is to get any air pockets out of the clay, but since you guys are using air-dry, and brand-new-from-the-bag clay, there shouldn't be any air bubbles, and won't make your pieces explode :D - when throwing, remember to brace yourself firmly! plant your elbows into your thighs and don't let them move, especially when centering at the beginning! if you aren't rooted firmly, the clay will be moving you instead of you moving the clay. - it's ok if its not perfectly centered! it will probably get a bit off-center as you shape it anyhow. eventually, you will get it "good enough" to move on :) - keep the clay wet at all times, and having your hands coated in slip (the "gooey") isn't a bad thing! if the clay surface isn't coated in water while you're shaping it, the friction will throw it off-balance and make it much more difficult to do what you want it to. - re-centering it after you've opened it, like what katelyn did, is called collaring, and is essential! - and the faster the wheel is spinning, the bigger adjustments you will make. so when centering, the wheel should be spinning as fast as possible, and then you can slow it down once you open it up. generally try to avoid touching your piece if the wheel isn't spinning

@LVDani Год назад

@@3DJapan I think some people have a natural aptitude for it. I took ceramics in HS for 2 years and we worked on the wheel the first 6 months of the second year. I was not able to learn how to center properly unfortunately. I was relatively decent with hand building though.

@Faith_Soprano Год назад

Yeah, I think it's like balance poses in yoga - some people get them easily, some people struggle forever. My friend teaches ceramics now, and centering is something a lot of people struggle with, according to her experience with students. And yes, some people get it faster, but some people never get it at all.

@fayre19 Год назад

Throwing on a wheel is actually super hard if you're a beginner, so you did really well for your first time! The only tip I'll give you is that centering isn't just getting it in the center of the wheel. It also applies to how the clay moves when on the wheel. If your clay is wobbling when the wheel is on, it's not centered. My teacher taught us to center by cupping the side of the clay with one hand, and cupping the top with your palm. Elbows should be locked and on your knees. I'm really small, so I had to lean over my clay and use my body weight to center. Some people make it look really easy, but if you don't have the muscles, the clay will kick your butt. I am so proud of how well your pieces turned out! You guys did great! I hope you guys do more, even if it's not for a video.

@LoganLovell Год назад

this reminded me of my final clay project in 6th grade. i made a ball, gave it eyes and ears and little buttcheeks and turned it in titled "Rodney". i not only got an A but the class voted mine as the "winner" in the art competition for our class. i lost rodney in a corn maze later that year, but I like to think he's out there on some fascinated Archeologists shelf while they ponder what ancient people worshipped this mysterious god. more likely it got crushed by a harvester but I can dream.

Y’all did good for your first time. It took me almost a full 2 weeks just to get centering down in my ceramics class.. this is definitely like a practice makes perfect kind of hobby. Keep at it!

@OceanSongBird6355 Год назад

Fun fact I learned from my ceramic class 1. You knead clay so that there won’t be any air bubbles that will form so that when you cook the clay in a kiln it won’t explode 2. Centering it also ensures that there are fewer air bubbles so that it again won’t explode 😂 3. You use the wire tool to cut the clay object off the plate 4. Glaze will be like forever glue so always wipe the bottoms so that you won’t as my teacher said “have to use a sledgehammer to get off” 😂😱 But yeah it was a fun class we did horse hair pottery and multiple types of pottery enjoyed this video so much and it made me laugh when you guys were like how do you knead clay? 😂 oh and the suits aren’t overkill I had an apron AND a towel I wrapped on my legs and I still got super dirty. Oh and a huge health risk warning make sure to keep any and all clay throwing stations clean and not dry as silica dust AKA clay dust when inhaled will make u sick and have clay on ur lungs forever. So please be safe!

@gueneveremiller5362 Год назад

real question: why does centering it help with bubbles?

@regeener Год назад

@@gueneveremiller5362 when you center clay, you push it in, cone it up, then push it down a couple times and that motion gets rid of the air bubbles in the clay so it’s less likely to explode! after it’s centered, then you can open it up to make a bowl or a cup using your fingers! (i’ve been throwing clay for a couple months now)

I've been subscribed to you guy's channel since you were selling coaters on Etsy, and I've never been disappointed with a single video. But today... as a novice potter myself, It is hard the first couple of tries, centering being the most difficult fundamental step to master, I'm only at minute 9 of the video and I'm still highly entertained throught Evan's "struggle". Don't ever stop doing what you guys do!

As a person who always gets pottery vids on their TikTok it was so satisfying watching the two of you improvise and do things I actually see the pros do.

As someone who just started throwing I really relate to the struggle of centering, it really just takes practice! This was super fun to watch!

@gingerpunk916 Год назад

As a ceramics Bfa, I found that for centering clay, the faster the better. It's when you start raising the walls that you want to go a bit slower. Also, as someone who is a bit more petite (like katelyn) you want your arms/elbows locked in with your body to brace your arms so your arms are more stable.

@chrishaskins3505 Год назад

little tip for starting your puck. pinkies resting on plate, elbows against inner thighs press down and out ward with arms and press thighs inward at the same time. this will kinda lock your arms in and reduce wobble... throwing clay is finding the happy balance of extreme force and gentlness...

@janeebecker7570 Год назад

I've been learning pottery for 5 months and I still struggle to center properly, it actually does require a lot of strength to remain steady against the week so props to you guys for making such a good effort

@kenziewilson1245 Год назад

I learned how to throw a few months ago in my ceramics class and you guys actually did amazing, it’s definitely a learning curve and it’s also very dependent on the clay and how you are doing that day. I’ve had days where I can pull a whole project and The next day I can’t pull a single thing without ripping it

@finley4825 Год назад

as a person who does pottery, this hurts my soul, but its amazing and really reminds me of my first time.

I've been trying to learn for the past couple of years. everything you went through is normal, its so frustrating attempting to center at first, it does get easier but sometimes after a long break I can struggle again.

@DrTurtleBee Год назад

To be fair, I took an eight week class with unlimited clay and didn't make anything much better than Evan did. Centering is the worse. Just go up and down over and over again until the clay doesn't wobble. I think your main problem was not using enough water at the right time.

@MewMewWinx Год назад

I’m currently taking an independent study with my ceramics professor on printing models with a 3D printer, making plaster molds with them, and slip casting pottery. I think that could be a fun thing to try in the future if you ever want to do something different with ceramics while also incorporating other mediums!
