Centering the clay is the one aspect of wheel throwing that a student will need to practice and to get better at doing. Feel free to jump in class at any time of the month. Why Clay? 1. It's therapeutic. Simply the act of molding clay in one's hands whether you're a child or an adult can be very calming. Remember those stress balls that were once so popular? Manipulating the clay can help relieve stress or even be an outlet for young children who physically express their emotions. 2. It's an outstanding sensory development activity for anyone. 3. It's play based learning. You might not realize it, but playing with clay is promoting minds to get busy by thinking about what they're going to create and how they're going to create it. This type of creative play promotes imaginative problem-solving skills.
I have been working on a pottery when since middle school age. I attended a Visual and performing arts school in Sarasota FL which is still there to this day. I was in the first pioneering class to be created at the school. We had 3-4 pottery wheels and it was my most favorite class. Later as an adult when I lived in Miami FL I purchased my own pottery wheel and have made many things on the wheel. I taught each of my three daughters on the wheel from a very young age.
a pottery wheel 1-5 lbs of clay or more that can later be fired air dry or polymer clay is not advisable to use on a pottery wheel This is the place I buy my clay: https://www.sheffield-pottery.com/20231-MOIST-CLAY-p/mc20231.htm Sheffield pottery has many different kinds of clay in different colors.
