As a fellow that always brings a teapot to the deer shack I found this process enlightening. I have never thrown a pot or vase or anything for that matter, but the idea of working with clay has always looked like fun to me. The gal in the video sure seems to have gotten the hang of it. If my mother were still with us I am certain she would have thoroughly enjoyed this and would have watched it multiple times.

Thank you for posting it!

Working with clay is great, but centering clay on the wheel is frustrating and takes allot practice. Pulling it up is another challenge so it does not flop all over the place lol.

What always amazed me was the hand spun Indian pottery wheel.

There is a lot of energy stored in that thick wheel when it is spinning.

Pottery is also recorded to be the first use of the wheel, preceding transportation by hundreds of years.
