Here are a few methods for centering your pots for trimming! I've found myself using bump centering the most lately, but it does havw a bit of a learning curve! If you struggle with centering your clay for trimming, practice using something heavier, like a large bowl or plate, or something bisqued that you don't care about! #NowWhatPotteryWorks #Centering #PotteryProcess #Ceramics #Clay #Trimming #TapCentering

I’ve been doing all sorts of ceramics for about 8 years on and off, but a lot of handbuilding and small items on the wheel. Now that I’m pursuing a full time life in clay, it’s about time I put the work in to throw a bit bigger. This is just the start of the journey. One thing that has helped me to start working bigger is centering smaller balls of clay in stages. 1. Wedge 2 to 3 ball of clay about 2.5 lbs each 2. Center the first ball of clay 3. Stack the next ball directly on top of the ce...

Centering is the most important part of throwing, and often the hardest for beginners. I think it's helpful, and very important to know which part of your hand is in control of how the clay moves, and how different pressures can change the shape of your puck. If your clay isn't centered, your piece overall will be wobbly, or uneven.

‘Is the clay centred?’, ‘How do I know if the clay is centred?’, ‘Is it centred now?’…

My response;
‘You’ll know when the clay is centred, you’ll be able to feel it.’

Once you feel the clay stop resisting and running smooth between your fingertips, you’ll know it’s centred.

Try not looking at the clay while centering and focus on how it feels.

I’ve got lots of tips and tricks for how to centre too, so please let me know if you would like to hear more…

Coning and centering 6.5 Ibs of porcelain. 😇 . The coning process is the first and most important step to successfully center the clay. It’s also a wonderful arm work out! . A lot of people have asked if this process is just for ‘fun’ or if it’s necessary, which makes me giggle. . Enjoy! . #potterystudio #pottery #houstonartist #shoplocal #ceramicart #houstonart #houstonartist #shoplocal #potterylove #potterylife #ceramicstudio #wheelthrown #wheelthrowingvideos #wheelthrowingpottery #clay ...

Pt 1 of a two part video. I love this angle for showing what is going on with my inside hand while I'm throwing, but it means my phone is in the way so I don't do it too often. I'm enjoying making these sweet flower mugs, and I can't wait to see them all the way finished! #NowWhatPotteryWorks #Pottery #Throwing #Ceramics #PotteryVideo #FloralPottery #ThrowingTutorial #Satisfying #Part1 #PDXPottery #PortlandArt

I discovered centering with one hand gives me ultimate control! I make the clay an extension of myself. I can simultaneously push with my palm and guide with my thumb... then viola!!
