How to Use:
1. Dip the mouth and base in muddy water and apply clay around the mouth.
2. Place the Shitta on the potter's wheel and secure it with clay.
3. Shave the mouth to create the core.
4. Wet the mouth with water, cover the piece, press firmly, and shave out the foot.
The hole in the side of the Shitta is for shaving the inside of the foot. Tapping it produces a pon pon sound, indicating the thickness.
These were newly created at the request of graduates from Hatori Pottery School.
We tested them on the potter's wheel, and there was no wobbling or other issues.
