In this, which is part 5 of my 'Beginner's Guide' series, I show you how I throw a simple, stoneware bowl on the potter's wheel. I discuss the general technique, together with chatting about some of the finer points, like how to finish the rim and how the interior curve should be made. Thanks for watching!
