You will need:
■ 2.7-3kg (6-7lb) of stoneware clay plus clay to throw a pad for a batt if you don’t have a quick-fix mechanism
■ Tools for throwing – batts, water bowl, ribs, sponge, serrated edged tools for texturing
■ Turning tools (optional – see steps)
■ Glaze of choice to fit stoneware clay
■ Rope for attaching sections together and/ or strong wire
Before you begin:
A reminder when throwing – to save wordy repetition!
Always compress the clay at the rim after each lift – pinch the rim gently between your fingers and thumb, at the same time resting the forefinger of your other hand on the rim and applying gentle pressure
This base won’t need turning after it’s been thrown and has firmed up to leather hard, so it’s important to get the proportions right from the start
