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. Trim the mouth to create the core. 4. Apply water to the mouth, cover the work, press to adhere, and carve out the foot. The holes in the body of the "shitta" are for carving inside the foot; tapping them will produce a "pon-pon" sound, indicating the thickness. Newly created at the request of graduates of the Hatori Pottery School. I set it on the potter's wheel, and there was no wobble.
