Welcome to the first episode of the How to Make a Raw-Glazed Mug on the Potter’s Wheel series! 

In this episode, I’ll talk you through the things I think about to prepare to make a pot on the electric potter’s wheel, such as: 

✨The size of pot to make.

✨The type of clay to use.

✨The importance of wedging (also known as kneading) the clay before making anything on the potter’s wheel.  

✨How much clay to use to make the pot.

✨Shaping the clay into a ball before starting to make the pot. 

✨Having a bucket of water and a tea towel handy to clean your hands when you need to. 

All these episodes can be viewed as videos in the ‘How to Make a Raw-Glazed Mug on the Potter’s Wheel’ YouTube playlist here.
