So now we have wedged our lump of clay that we are going to use for our bottleneck vase
and I would like to just quickly review some of the tools you are going to need for this.
These are ribs and I use these in the throwing process. I will show you what I do with those
later. This is a wire tool. These are trimming tools that we are going to use once the pot
has dried out. We are going to use it to trim the base of it and you need a variety of sponges.
This one I use for throwing. This one I use for getting water out of the inside of the
pot. It is just a sponge on the end of a stick. We also need a pen tool, a bucket of water,
a little piece of leather, soft leather.
We also need what is called a bat and the bat attached on to the wheel and this needs
to be prepared before the clay goes on there and I'm going to show you how to prepare the
bat in the next section.
