How to Throw Off The Hump - Pottery Tutorial

Описание: Back at the wheel at Patina Meadow, Leila demonstrates one of her favorite advanced pottery techniques: throwing off the hump. This traditional method—originating in China and Korea—allows you to throw multiple pieces from a single large mound of clay, making it faster, more efficient, and incredibly satisfying once mastered.

In this video, you’ll see how to center only the top portion of the clay, create stable bases, compress properly to avoid cracking, and throw small bowls, mini forms, and a bud vase—all without starting over each time. Leila also shares practical tips on pressure control, compression, cutting pieces off the wheel, and common mistakes to avoid when learning this technique.

Whether you’re looking to speed up production or level up your wheel-throwing skills, this is a technique well worth practicing.
