Instructions:

Materials:

• Mini Pottery Machine
• Clay (suitable for air drying)
• Bowl of water
• Sculpting tools (from the included set)
• Optional: Towel for wiping hands

Steps:

1. Prepare your clay: Wedge the clay to warm it up and make it more pliable. You can wedge by repeatedly folding the clay in half and pressing it down. Break off a small piece of clay suitable for the size of your mini pottery wheel. Roll the clay into a smooth ball between your palms.

2. Center the clay on the wheel: Wet your hands slightly to prevent the clay from sticking. Place the clay ball in the center of the pottery wheel. Gently press down on the clay to secure it to the wheel. Wet your fingers again and begin to gently center the clay. This involves shaping the clay into a symmetrical cone with a smooth surface. You can use your thumbs and fingers to push the clay inwards and upwards.

3. Start the wheel and adjust speed: Plug in the pottery wheel and turn it on using the designated switch. The Poterio™ machine allows for speed adjustments, typically with a knob or dial. Start with a slow speed to get comfortable and gradually increase it as needed.

4. Shape your clay: Once the clay is centered and the wheel is at your desired speed, you can begin shaping your creation. Use your sculpting tools or your hands to form the clay into your desired shape. The included tools can be used for trimming, hollowing, scoring, smoothing, and adding details.

5. Refine and remove: Use water on your tools and hands as needed to prevent sticking and smooth out imperfections. Once you're happy with the shape, use a tool like a ribbon tool or needle tool to carefully cut your creation off the spinning wheel.

6. Let it dry: Place your creation on a flat surface to air dry completely. Drying time can vary depending on the thickness of your piece.
