Pulling wheelthrown pottery we are now done with the beginner phase and onto finishing up some smaller videos in order to move into season of the weeb.

Can t wait to try it in the studio.

I ve never had anyone explain pulling the clay up exactly as you did.
If you re making a hanging.
Another advantage is that the action of pulling the handle aligns the clay particles this strengthening the clay.
We ve developed a range of electric tug movers to suite different sectors and applications.
As with other handles made from clay they should be made from the same clay body as the pot they will be attached to.
Pulling and shaping the pot.
