In this pottery wheel throwing tutorial, I’m breaking down 5 of the most common wheel throwing mistakes beginners make and showing you exactly how to fix them.

If your pots are collapsing, twisting, wrinkling at the rim, or just not behaving the way you want, this video will help you understand why these issues happen and what to do in the moment to save your piece.

We’ll cover everything from pulling walls too fast, weak rims, twisting walls, collapsing forms, and how to properly compress, collar, and recover thin clay—all using real-time demonstrations on the wheel.

🌀 In this video, you’ll learn:
-Why pulling too fast creates uneven walls
How to properly compress the rim to prevent wrinkles
How to collar in without collapsing thin clay
What causes twisting during pulls—and how to fix it
How to recover collapsed or unstable walls
When (and how) to cut an uneven rim correctly

These are the same issues I see over and over again when teaching beginners and once you understand why they happen, wheel throwing becomes much more intuitive.
