These are the steps on how to make ceramic flower pots:
- Prepare the liquid clay. The following items are needed to make liquid clay: raw clay, grog, china clay, feldspar, and water. Combine all ingredients together to produce the liquid clay dough.
- Mold the dough. Put the dough on the pottery wheel. Press on the pedal fast to spin the wheel. Then, press your thumbs in the middle of the dough. Use your remaining fingers to pull the clay upwards. This will form your pot. Mold the dough in whichever shape you want. Then, use your finger pads to reach inside the pot. Pull the clay upwards to create the thin sides of the pot.
- Even the pot lip. Cut a ring from the top of the pot using a knife. The ring’s thickness should be at least an inch or more. Do this while the wheel is still spinning. This will create an even lip for the pot
