Demi Moore: the pottery wheel

Ghost (1990) was a supernatural romance movie, directed by Jerry Zucker, starring Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze, Whoopi Goldberg, etc.

This scene was very popular, and still is. When I heard a mate purchased a wheel machine, my first reaction was this scene and said to the couple, ‘oh you got yourself a Demi Moore,’ 🙂

Ghost was taken place at 102 Prince Street, lower Manhattan, New York, while ours in the couple’s garage.

Centering is the center of the wheel. Getting it centered is the half the battle.

I thought it would be easy but it isn’t. Master pottery couldn’t wait to teach me, ended up I couldn’t get it right myself – totally my fault. Having a little room to maneuver (to learn) is crucial.

The following video is long … hope there are some practical tips for getting it right.

… the following morning, we went to trim our creations when the pieces are leather hard.
