Spiral Wedging - Preparing The Clay - Pottery for Beginners

Spiral wedging takes its name from the shape created in the clay during the process: The clay creates a spiral pattern. The Spiral wedging technique is a little more advanced than the Ram’s Head method and takes a little more skill to master. It’s worth putting in the time though, as I find you can wedge more clay in one go. It is also quicker, which gets you started faster. This method is actually very difficult to do slowly, building up your speed and rhythm makes it easier. Getting the spiral going is the hardest part, but once you have started the spiral shape it will become easier. This video was designed as companion material for my book 'Pottery for Beginners'.
