This video is one of a series I am making on using marbled clay to create marble or agateware thrown on the potter's wheel. I think it is a joy to make and use, and I hope you enjoy these videos!
For more videos on using marbled clay, check out this entire playlist where I show examples of throwing bowls, cups, etc. Also, I plan to add handbuilding ones to it as well eventually! :

This video goes over the simple throwing and ribbing process used in creating a marbled clay bowl thrown on the wheel. I use the marbled prepared clay I made in my previous video on making marbled clay: • How to Mix a Mason Sta...
In this video, I throw the clay for a bowl, same as normal. I don't add a lot of explanation- but if you would like to see a more detailed bowl throwing demo with explanation, see this video: • How to Wheel Throw a S...
Using marbled clay has a couple of considerations. Firstly, you need to make sure your hunks of the stained and unstained clay are of the same or very close to the same moisture. If they differ much, you will have a terrible time throwing evenly. (Which may have been a bit of an issue with the wobble early in this bowl!) And, secondly, you must really rib/scrape off all the slip which is hiding the great marbled features. Without scraping off the slip, it is a much less exciting surface.
The little metal rib/scraper I use to remove the slip is a small one size 0 from Mudtools. www.mudtools.com/product-cate...
I have another video where I will be trimming the bowl, so you can see that process when I put a link below to that!
