Pottery Throwing Experience
Throwing is one of the 72 procedures for making pottery, which is called making pottery clay. It is the initial stage of molding and it is also a prototype of utensils. The prepared mud is placed on a pottery clay table, and then the pottery clay with a certain shape and size is formed through the wheel molding. Throwing is the traditional method for the production of pottery in China. The round utensils are made through the method of throwing. The pottery clay is formed into the shape of clay, such as bowls, cups and vases by hand through the concentric rotating force of the pottery wheel. It is the basis of pottery art works. The dried clay can become a unique pottery after being fired in the kiln.
