PLATE X. Throwing.—Lesson VI, 2.
PLATE XI. Throwing.—Lesson VII.
Lesson VII. Keep the hands wet; proceed as in Lesson VI. Instead of making the top flange outwards, draw it gradually inwards into a globe form. Work the clay carefully upwards and inwards until the opening at the top is almost closed. Several attempts will probably have to be made before this result can be secured.
PLATE XII. Throwing.—Lesson VIII, 1.
Lesson VIII. Keep the hands wet. Spin up a globe shape with a narrow base as in Lesson VI but carry a good share of the clay to the top so that the upper edge of the globe is quite thick. Insert two fingers of the left hand and with the fingers of the right hand outside work the upper edge of the globe into a tall neck. The action is the same as in the shaping of a cylinder except that the diameter is smaller. A good deal of practice will be necessary in order to keep the neck thin and to raise it to any appreciable height, but perseverance will accomplish it.
