Apply slip to the mouth and base, and wrap clay around the mouth. 2. Set the "shitta" on the potter's wheel and secure it with clay. 3. Shape the mouth and create the core. 4. Apply water to the mouth, cover the work, press to adhere, and carve out the foot. The hole in the body of the "shitta" is for carving inside the foot. Tapping it will produce a "pon-pon" sound, indicating the thickness. Newly made at the request of graduates of the Hatori Pottery School. I set it on the potter's wheel, and there was no wobble.
