Why does a potter wedge clay before shaping it?
Show the answer
To remove air and even out moisture. Wedging kneads the clay to push out trapped air and spread moisture evenly, which helps prevent cracking.
What is the potter's term for shaping clay on a spinning wheel?
Show the answer
Throwing. Throwing means shaping clay on a rotating wheel head. The word comes from an old word meaning to twist or turn.
Clay at the leather-hard stage is best for which task?
Show the answer
Trimming and attaching handles. Leather-hard clay is firm but slightly pliable, so potters trim feet and attach handles at this stage.
