Q. How
long will it take for me to be good at wheel throwing?
Q. Which is easier, hand building or wheel throwing? A. Both hand building and wheel throwing can be difficult to someone who had not worked with clay before. By giving both techniques a try, you will be able to know which one will suits you better.
Q. What should I start with, hand building or wheel throwing? A. Our recommendation is that the student to start with hand building first because wheel throwing requires using the potter’s wheel that require the student to control the potter’s wheel and at the same time coordinate hand movement to create a ceramic piece. Therefore, with some hand building experience, you will be able to understand how the clay works and shall be able to control the clay better on the potter’s wheel. There are no rules to which technique to start with, it is totally up to you--you can start on the potter's wheel first and then move on to hand building. |
