Скачать или смотреть How to Fix a Wobbly Rim — A Beginner's Guide

It's been a while since I've made a video for this playlist. It's so gratifying to see the views these videos get over time, which I hope means they're actually been useful to those watching. This week, I'm covering a really simple topic, which is how to level the rim of your pots if they happen to be wonky, uneven or inconsistent.

I cover why this might happen in the first clay, which is mainly due to poor wedging of the clay or centring and then I discuss five different techniques to correct and fix any movement in the lips of your pottery.

Together with throwing in a few throwing tips at the end, which are specifically about maintaining control when you're pulling up the walls of the pot themselves.

There's a lot information for you to digest in this—but a million thanks for watching, it honestly means a lot! I hope you find it helpful!
