"Lori" wrote in message oups.com... Good, I'm glad you can make use of these. He generally uses 1-2 lbs. of clay for demonstration purposes. I'm not sure how much he was using here. Probably about 2 lbs. Yes, by copy I mean the text. If you see no need for it, I won't bother adding it. Don't worry - you'll soon have those bowls to trim. Just take a deep breath and plunge right in. Steady and slow. Listen to rhythm of the wheel and join yourself to the clay. Feel the rhythm of the clay as it unfolds itself for you, like a blossom does to the sun. Center yourself with the clay. I often close my eyes while centering - gets me in tune with it. Thanks, Lori :-) I have copied your advice on centering to a page I am going to print and read before I get down to it. Keep smiling :-) Marianne |

Good! Much luck to you. It's almost a Zen approach, I know, but it
works - at least for me. I also throw several warm-up pots before I get down to serious business just to get myself into it, put on some music and lose myself. You can tell what kind of music I've been listening to by the looks of my pots - Gershwin makes my pots nice and voluptuous. Bond, Ted Nugent, Springsteen or Bob Seger just makes them BIG. The music's energy is what makes me able to dance with the clay. Later! Lori (aka - Claydancer Pottery) |
