Throwing

The art of dirty hands

Throwing clay is hypnotic. You need good focus to keep your hands still. You can't to make unexpected movements: one wrong move and your work collapses.

Combination method

My next masterpiece

Throwing clay on the wheel has its limitations. So sometimes, I find it enjoyable to alter the thrown shapes by hand building. For instance, it's fun to end up with a square dish for a change :-)

Hand building

Creativity knows no limit

With hand building you can give free rein to your creativity. Because you are not bound by shape and symmetry, the possibilities are endless. Be inspired by your own imagination!
