Step 1

It all starts with a chunk of clay or in this particular case a chunk consisting of three different clays.

step 2

The clay is then wedged. A very important step because it aligns clay particles in the same direction and gets rid of air bubbles among other things.

The clay is then formed into a cone and placed in the center of a potter’s wheel.
