Many things are happening to create the piece. The clay must be kneaded and have no air bubbles, be centered on the wheel and the process begins. First is shaping and centering the clay, then a hole is created in the center, and depending on the design, the piece can be drawn up, out, in, etc. Tools needed are sponges, water buckets, wire cutter, and the wheel. Because so much is involved it is best to take a ceramics class.
