To begin, Xin Xiang wets the clay and sets it on the wheel, pulling the earthy lump as it spins until it becomes a pointy obelisk, which he then condenses into a dome. With his index finger and thumb, Xin Xiang creates an indentation that becomes the interior of the mug, gently tugged upwards until slim sides take shape.
Once evened out, the excess clay is removed and the mug is lifted from the wheel. "Remember not to be precious about what you make," Xin Xiang advises.""Cause you can always recycle clay and start over." To emphasize the point, Xin Xiang squashes the mug, rolling it back to its lumpy origins to start the process anew.
Whether you're a pottery expert or would rather take pottery classes before buying a wheel, take notes as you watch Xin Xiang craft a mug below.
