How I Center Larger Lumps of Clay

In this week's video I'm throwing a 4 kg, (8.8 lb), vase. I talk technique, new tools, learning to throw larger wares and various other topics. I hope you enjoy the beginning section about centring larger masses of clay! It can be a challenge and I'm still definitely learning a lot making these vases.
