2 good rules to follow when working with clay on the pottery wheel ?
Keep your hands touching, using them together as one for better control. Use your entire body to work the clay, focus on the center. Always move your hands into/out of contact slowly while the wheel is going round. Jerky motions will result in an uneven pot.
