Salt container

First the piece of clay is thrown into the center of the disc plate.
It is importunt that our hand are always wet while still shaping the clay. Slip your hand. In the next step, we concentrate the clay in the middle on the discplate. This is the most important step in the pottery work.
Catching clay in the middle is a different task, it takes a lot of practice. Every next steps is build on this middle catch. Let's start with what form we want to make. Now we made salt container. With the longest three fingers of our left hand we make a recess in our clay. And by pulling in out from the middle, we try to do the wall. In this case, a thicker wall is formed, this wall is pulled upwards with a squeezing motion. We repeated sveral times until then the wall will be thick and tall enough. Then we did the shape.
