Alright, so you want to have your ware-board ready for this. Because if you want to make...if
you're going to make something like this, I would suggest to make them in six or more.
I wouldn't make just one or two of these things. So, just want to be productive, because three
or four of them might not turn out. So since we're throwing off the hump, no big deal that
we use that bottom part right there. Normally, I would say turn it the other way around,
but throwing off the hump, there's no big problem. Now what that means is we're just
going to utilize little portions of clay off this thing and just work, work, work our way
down until we've run out of clay, and then we'll just make another hump. So you want
to secure it from there, and once you have it secured on the wheel-head, we're going
to start to center it just a little bit. You just use a little bit of water, you don't
need to get it all centered, but centered just enough to where it doesn't confuse you,
or make you think everything is off-center. So visually, if things are centered, the mind's
centered, then all your pots will be centered... even if it's off center. So go ahead, right
there, we're ready to start throwing off the hump.
