Throwing Off The Hump with Daisy from the King and the Flower Pottery - June 5th at 8pm EST

In this class, I will show you how I throw miniature vases and espresso cups in bulk. Throwing off the hump is my method of choice when throwing multiple pieces. It facilitates production of small to medium size pieces while only centering a large lump of clay one time and focusing on the top portion of the clay on the mound. This method makes production work flow seamlessly. We’ll talk about tools, tips and tricks needed to help you succeed in the process.

I started making pottery when I was a senior in college. I took the class for fun without realizing the impact it would have on me. I found myself in the ceramics studio for endless hours with my new found passion and an amazing community of potters. My college professor Billy encouraged me to create miniatures. Out of all the things I made that year, it was the one thing of which he said, “make more”. I make a lot of things now a days. But making miniatures has always been what’s felt more mine. I really enjoy learning and exploring so my pottery practice consists of a lot of exploration. I’m a bit of a nerd. I like to obsess over new methods and techniques. They make me feel things. I light up when I find something new. This is one of the reasons why I really like ceramic arts. It is a well of endless possibility.
