522. Making a Small Sgraffito Decorated Moon Jar with Hsin-Chuen Lin 林新春 小月圓瓶拉坯修坯雕紋示範

What I was doing is using the fingertip bring the clay Toward the center so the base will be a bit smaller So what I did was Try to smooth the inside This inside it's hard to get it Slippery so I spent some time Put in water and the slip to lubricate inside and outside is easier. Just touch it up with water and It's ready to go but inside usually It's a lot of friction. So you have to make sure it is slippery before you try to lift up your wall Keeping the opening smaller help a lot Because you don't want to widen it and then try to move it in. It's harder so Keep the opening smaller and then you stretch from the inside And you see that I'm spending quite some time to make sure the surface is slippery So I'm adding water and slip to lubricate it and you don't need to use a sponge You kind of drip a lot of water Just enough water on your hand and then you coat it over the surface That's all you need That's why you see that I never use a sponge to try to pull and lift So when I'm lifting My initial lift is straight wall But after that, I slightly pull it outward and then to the shoulder Slightly pull inward so you already have the curve. It's easier Now I think my wall is thin enough. So I'm starting to shape it and if you like You can use a wooden rib to remove all the finger marks Before I use the metal rib to do the final shaping So I'm slightly Push the wall onto my rib and then use the rib to guide the wall Slightly go up and then go in And when you're using the rib, you don't need any water at all Okay, it will be slippery enough on the outside, but inside you need to lubricate. Okay, so that's why I keep on Getting the slip that I toss. Sometimes I toss the slip in and just get it to coat it on my finger and then Use that to lubricate Right, so I will take care of the bottom and Then do the rim the last but see that I'm keeping the rim Fairly thick so I have room if I want to make it smaller So when I'm pulling I Seldom touch the rim. I seldom pull the rim too thin. Keep the rim a bit thicker so that Your foam is also Hold it by the thicker rim better So The bottom Has been taken care of so I'm going to keep on Taking care of the shoulder here Making sure that you don't want to stretch too much This part here is easy to collapse if you stretch too much. So you want to keep this kind of a curve And I'm using the sponge to clean up the inside before I cross further For the ripping I slightly The finger here slightly bend it. So and then the inside hand slightly push out the shoulder So it follows the curve all the way through from this point I Slightly push and then this follow the curve Okay The whole shape looks good. I kind of lean back and check it out Follow the curve all the way through now, I'm going to close the top a bit You can use a sponge to slightly add a little bit of water to the surface so because I'm going to draw the clay. I'm going to pour the clay a bit. So you want to be a slippery You just use a sponge to just touch it up And the fingers The finger inside Support it and the thumb outside to pull Toward the center and the outside finger is kind of this finger is kind of a supporting And move for that direction Still I can feel a little bit thicker here, so I'm coming back here and do it again. Squeeze it Lift it toward the center right before I close further Before my finger can still reach inside to take care of here See that the curve here is a little bit unfollowed So I'm coming back here and push out from that And then use my rib to support it to get the curve follow through from the bottom to the top All right, I was using a Sculpito tool, one of my Sculpito tool This is large, medium and small. I was using larger tool to carve out all the lines, straight lines So this is my large one This is the finished part of the Moon jar simple form but a lot of carving decoration Right, so hope this demonstration helped and Next time I will probably make a larger one to show you The difference between making a small one and a larger one All right, so hope this helped. See you next time
