Throwing Off The Hump

Dive into the technique of throwing off the hump—a method that enhances efficiency by allowing potters to create multiple small forms from a single, large mound of clay. Instead of centering individual balls of clay, you'll center just the top portion of a large mass, enabling the creation of items like cups, bowls, or lids in succession without re-centering each time . This technique not only streamlines production but also offers a unique opportunity to refine your skills, improve control, and explore form variations. It's an excellent practice for those looking to deepen their wheel-throwing proficiency and embrace a more fluid, intuitive approach to pottery.
