Anyone ever embed wire mesh in the clay for support? by [email protected]

Want to Learn Pottery by Bubba
Hello to all, In the city where I live, I have been trying to find someone to teach pottery. However, I have been unsuccessful. The local university teaches pottery, but requires all sorts of prerequisites to take the course. And, I don't want to work towards an art degree just to take a pottery...

Japanese (coil?) wedging problems by Bubbles
Hi everyone! I have been trying to learn to do the japanese wedging. It looks soooo simple and relaxing when my teacher does it, but I just can't get the hang of it. While her wedged pieces have a lovely knob in the middle and the clay goes neatly back from the coil, I have a hole in the middle...

Reclaiming clay - how-to? by Bubbles
Hi guys! What I have been doing up until now is to slop my lefotovers (a LOT when you are a newbie on the wheel!) into a 10-liter bucket. Then I crunch the bits down into maximum 2 cm bits or less. But is 10 liters of clay too much to reclaim at once on a gypsum board? Am I being too...

Throwing left, right and seldom center! by Bubbles
Hi folks! I am finally back at my wheel after many months not being able to use it for one reason or another. I realize that it will take me a while to get "the feeling" back, but in the mean time, I have a rotten dilemma. If I throw on my wooden bats (I have 2), the holes are slightly bigger...
