Why not good in trowing the pottery wheel??
k, so just finished art classes at the University of Memphis art and I'm not good at throwing … was only my first year, but does anyone have any suggestions to throw?
Previous posters are correct about the fairness left and right. Many times I have seen this as the root of the problem. But the most common cause of which is the impatience and inability to make slow, steady moves. It is not unusual move in a volatile, non-uniformly. This may seem strange to some councils, but here would help. While sitting at a table, place your hand on the table in the same position used to shape the clay. Then move your hand as slowly and steadily as you can. First, do no energy in his hand, ie as if they were not pushing against anything … then bring the resistance to the hand, as if pushing against an invisible barrier, or moving through a thick liquid. Try to keep the speed of his uniform and slow. I've done tai chi for many years, and I can tell, people have problems with slowness. I'm confident that with practice, you can.
