| Throwing & Centering |  | 1 Lesson: 24 Minutes. This first video is all about throwing a cylinder with emphasis on centering the clay. Engesath simplifies the centering process by breaking it down into a two-part procedure: raising the clay and lowering the clay. This procedure will allow even the novice to work with relatively large amounts of clay. Other aspects of throwing a cylinder (dropping the well, opening and compacting the floor, building the walls, etc.) are also covered. Sample Pictures

| Collaring / Bowls |  | 2 Lessons: 48 Minutes. Collaring is the technique of shapping pottery in such a way as to completely close the opening of the pot. The second project is a bowl. Engesath teaches that there are only two basic forms one can create on the wheel: open and closed, and he uses the example of the bowl to demonstrate the subtle differences in technique required to simplify the throwing of the open shape. Several examples are shown. Sample Pictures

| Tea Pots / Piggy Banks |  | 2 Lessons: 48 Minutes. The tea-pot project combines the handle and lid techniques and combines them with a pouring spout. The piggy-bank video project gives the student several suggestions on ways to create this popular item. Hopefully the style employed by Engesath will serve as a springboard for the student to develop his or her own style in creating piggy-banks and perhaps other animal forms from basic wheel-thrown shapes.
