Long ago, clay lovers figured out how to make discs spin very fast using a weighted center and some good ol' fashioned elbow grease. The oldest ones date back to Mesopotamia, and even though motor powered wheels are most common, some potters still prefer the analog method. Whether you utilize the miracle of electricity or not, all wheels conduct centrifugal force to enable throwing. Simply put, you toss a lump of clay in the center of the wheel and use your hands to squeeze, lengthen, and form a vessel from the clay. This allowed potters to amplify production, in turn making this tool a backbone of ceramic history. One of our wheels lives in the Small Batch Studio, where it gets used to make special projects, one offs, and limited runs. It's a Shimpo Rk Whisper, with a wooden box in place of the plastic splash pan. This is because Amanda likes to throw standing up! They say it’s better for efficiency, and keeping a strong and healthy back. link click upn equals 3rf VBQB 2F 7CD Andpy 35… link click upn equals 3rf VBQB 2F 7CD Andpy 35… link click upn equals 3rf VBQB 2F 7CD Andpy 35… link click upn equals 3rf VBQB 2F 7CD Andpy 35… link click upn equals 3rf VBQB 2F 7CD Andpy 35… link click upn equals 3rf VBQB 2F 7CD Andpy 35… link graphic link click upn equals 3rf VBQB 2F 7CD Andpy 35… link graphic link click upn equals 3rf VBQB 2F 7CD Andpy 35… Copyright Copyright 2019 East Fork, All rights reserved.
