Today I was trying to think of what I should make for my last Theme Choice Project and my multi-wheel projects when I came across a website called Ceramics Daily. I was looking at throwing techniques and saw dry throwing which really confused me, so I clicked on the link and watched the video. Basically, you get clay from the mixer or a bag or whatever and form it into a solid cylinder. Next you stick it on the week as close to center as possible and put a stick tool through the clay vertically to cut off the sides, centering the clay. You then trim the top and add any details to the sides of the clay that you want. After that get a big loop tool and keep scooping clay out of the center of the cylinder. Lastly pull out with a rib tool to make it a bowl. This seems really cool and I want to make it my third theme choice project.
