Top 5 Tips
I think that all of the tips listed are very important, with these in mind and practice through out the quarter I hope to improve my skill level in this class. I think that using equal pressure and finding a balance while throwing on the wheel is crucial as well as keeping the wheel slow and steady. For a smooth surface, remembering to use water while you're working seems beneficial. Getting to know the tools and the pottery wheel will improve my skill level as well. I am looking forward to this class.
