Alright when, when we're going to, we're going to shape this moquette and there's really
not that much throwing involved as there is pinching, and pulling because it's such a
small piece of clay you don't really throw. But we're going to make just a little pot
belly guy. I'm going to go ahead, I'm going to pinch the bottom, I'm going to bring it
up in cylinder. I'm going to leave enough clay there so I can make a little rim. I'm
going to leave enough clay there so I can make a little bay or a little belly; I'll
establish my base again so I know where the bottom's at, I'm going to see how much clay
I have by feeling it and I have about that much clay, that much thickness to work with.
So I got to keep that in mind when I'm pulling and pushing all this clay around so I don't
go past the point of no return, and flop my maquette; my moquette. So once I've pulled
that up and established my cylinder I'm going to go ahead flatten the top again to keep
everything in check. And now we're going to put some form in there.
