Ceramics: Make Miniature Pottery w/ Hanna

Learn the technique of throwing off the hump to quickly create  repeated shapes from one large lump of clay.  Imagine and shape  miniature pottery and cut it off the wheel while it’s still spinning! These miniature pots make great testers for glazes and are very collectable. Throwing off the hump is also commonly used for creating bowls, small cups, and teapot spouts.

Learning Objectives
●Work with a large hump of clay, centering from the top and throwing with only what is needed.
