How a wheel throws a cylinder
Spinning clay is opened and pulled upward between the hands into an even hollow wall.

From the opening
Throwing a cylinder uses a spinning wheel so the potter's hands meet every part of a centered lump and lift it into a hollow with even walls. The wheel supplies the rotation, and the hands supply the pressure that opens the clay and pulls it up. The opening covers centered clay opens into a floor, pulls lift the wall upward, and the rim is compressed as it rises.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
