Throwing is a lot of fun and I can't wait to do more next semester. I guess I'm kinda good at it :) The most difficult part was centering, but I got it pretty well eventually. I made two pieces on the wheel that I could keep. I gave one to Maria and one to my mom. For throwing you need to get a handful size piece of clay wedge it to get all the air bubbles out, then you want to make sure the wheel is dry so the clay doesn't slip off. After drying the wheel you want to throw the piece of clay on the wheel and get your hands just a little wet. Once you get your hands wet you can start centering by squeezing it together in your hands and then pulling up and pushing down the clay. Then you can slow down the wheel and make whatever shape you desire.
