01 — The Wheel
A quiet room, a spinning wheel, and a lump of clay waiting to become something.
Throwing on the wheel is the oldest conversation between hand and material. You wet the clay, brace your elbows, and lean in — and for a few minutes nothing exists but the cool weight turning under your palms. The studio on Powell Street is built around that small, repeatable miracle: centering, opening, pulling, shaping. Beginners are welcome at the wheel; the clay does most of the teaching.
This is a documentary look at that process — captured slowly, in close frames of hands, vessels, and glaze. No rush, no hard sell. Just the work.
