Watch top Korean potter, Lee Kang-hyo, throwing small bowls on the wheel in his studio. Lee has previously talked about how, when throwing bowls, he tries to touch the clay for the least amount of time possible.

He finishes by comparing the freshly decorated bowls with ones that have already been fired.
