Throwing large porcelain bowls
About 6 kg of porcelain clay, nice and soft and well prepared.
First I slap the clay into the center with my hands, that'll safes a lot of hard work when throwing.
Then I apply plenty of water and center. I use a sponge in one hand to keep it well rubricated. Once well centred I start coning the clay to make it more workable on the wheel.
Opening the centre and compressing the base.
A couple of pulls and widening into the bowl shape.
Et voilà
