    First, our teacher tells us what to do.
[01:09] Teach
    There is a basic posture.
[01:11] Teach
    You put your elbows firmly on
    your knees and lock your arms
SIGN    How to Make a Mug
    Put your elbows on top of your knees
    to make sure your hands don't shake
[01:14] Teach
    so your hands don't shake.
    This is quite important.
[01:17] Teach
    You hold it from the top, lightly,
    wrap your hands around it.
SIGN    How to Make a Mug
    Wrapping the clay with both hands,
    use your thumbs to make a hole
[01:22] Teach
    Then you start by putting
    just one of your thumbs in.
[01:27] Teach
    Next, you put both thumbs
    into the hole you made.
SIGN    How to Make a Mug
    Insert both thumbs to spread out the clay
[01:30] Teach
    Moving out from the center, you go out to the
    edges and make the hole bigger and bigger.

[02:13] Yellow
    I'm going in!
[02:14] Teach
    Up until the first joint, just go for it.
[02:19] wom
    I put it in.
[02:19] Teach
    You did it!
[02:21] wom
    It's kind of soft!
[02:23] Red
    This feels kind of new.
[02:24] wom
    Yeah, this is new!
[02:26] Purp
    This feels good!
[02:28] tea
    Did you get your hole made?
[02:29] wom
    This softness...
[02:31] Blue
    Hehe, this is fun.
[02:33] Teach
    I think everybody's got their hole made.
[02:36] Teach
    All right, and now we're going to put
    in both thumbs and start to stretch it.
SIGN    Insert both thumbs to spread out the clay
[02:39] wom
    Here I go.
[02:40] wom
    Oh wow!
[02:42] Teach
    Stretch it until it reaches
    your desired cup size.
[02:45] wom
    It'll be a mug right, how big should that be?
[02:48] wom
    I don't know, mine feels
    pretty hard. I think I can't.
[02:51] wom
    You need more force than I thought.
[02:52] Other
    You do.
[02:53] tea
    From the center out.
[02:55] Blue
    Oh, no.
[02:57] tea
    It'll be fine.
[02:59] blue
    It doesn't want to be
    the shape I want at all.
[03:01] blue
    This is super hard.
[03:03] wom
    Yours is doing something crazy.
[03:05] wom
    It's so dynamic.
[03:07] wom
    Crazy, what's happening?
[03:09] blue
    Really, what is this?
[03:12] Pink
    Widen it and...
[03:14] Pink
    Wait I made it too wide,
    that's not a mug anymore.
[03:16] Pink
    Is this a plate?
[03:18] wom
    Hold on.
[03:20] Purp
    I don't know if this is right or wrong.
[03:23] Yell
    Uh oh, it looks like I started
    to do it my own way.
[03:26] Yell
    This is like, my own way.
[03:28] Green
    Isn't that too wide? Too wide!
[03:30] wom
    Oh, crap!
[03:32] nar
    For this step, adjusting the
    amount of force in your fingers
[03:36] nar
    is actually quite delicate
    and is harder than it looks!
[03:41] Teach
    It's widened out nicely.
[03:41] Green
    That's nice.
[03:44] Teach
    Let's move on to the walls.
[03:47] Teach
    Your left hand is on the outside,
    the right hand in inside.
SIGN    Using three fingers, press
    together and then stretch
[03:52] Teach
    Use three fingers on each side of the wall.
[03:54] Teach
    Like that. Then you go straight up.

    It's starting to look like a mug.
[04:05] Yell
    This is fun!
[04:07] Yell
    It's fun!
[04:10] wom
    I could get into this...
[04:12] nar
    But, then!
[04:14] Yell
    Now I've done it!
[04:16] wom
    Now I've done it.
[04:22] pink
    You see that a lot.
[04:28] Green
    I don't think this can be fixed.
[04:29] Teach
    You need to start over.
[04:32] wom
    The lesson is, I must not get too cocky.
[04:37] wom
    The moment I thought I knew
    what I was doing, it broke.
[04:41] nar
    Meanwhile, I, Serizawa, was...
[04:45] Pink
    This is cute. It looks like an apple.
[04:47] ser
    This looks like an apple. Maybe
    I should make it into an apple.
[04:51] ser
    Should I make it into an apple?
[04:56] ser
    It's so cute. I really like this little guy.
[05:03] pink
    Wait, this looks like it
    would be a pain to wash.
[05:07] ser
    Umm...
[05:07] wom
    Yours looks so artsy!
[05:10] Yell
    Pudding! It looks like a pudding cup!
[05:14] ser
    It's an apple.
[05:18] wom
    This is hard!
[05:20] Pink
    Physical, mental...
     Something's being used here.
[05:25] wom
    Making it even is hard.
[05:30] wom
    It's kind of crooked.
[05:34] wom
    Come on. You got this.
[05:39] txt
    Ten Minutes Later
[05:44] wom
    I got it into a cute shape.
[05:48] wom
    Yay! I'm happy with this.
[05:50] wom
    I made a mug.
[05:53] ser
    OK, I think I'm done with mine.
[05:58] wom
    We're all done.
[05:59] wom
    They're all very different!
SIGN    Decide on the handle design and on the color of the fired piece
[06:04] nar
    The last step is deciding on the handle design
[06:08] nar
    and color you want for the
    fired piece and you're done!
[06:12] wom
    We all made different shapes.
[06:14] wom
    Our individual personalities shine through.
[06:16] ser
    Yeah.
[06:18] wom
    What do you think you'd like to use this for?
[06:20] hon
    I really like soup so I made it bigger.
SIGN    Honizumi Rina's piece
[06:22] wom
    Oh right, soup!
[06:23] wom
    Yeah.
[06:24] hon
    I thought putting soup in here would be nice.
[06:26] wom
    That makes sense.
[06:28] hon
    What about you, Minami?
[06:29] tan
    Well, I'm a bit of a black tea fan.
SIGN    Tanaka Minami's piece
[06:32] wom
    Nice.
[06:33] tan
    So I'm thinking I'll be
    using this for black tea.
[06:34] wom
    Yeah, it kind of has that wider mouth?
[06:35] tan
    Exactly.
[06:37] wom
    Wakai is only thinking about coffee.
SIGN    Wakai Yuki's piece
[06:39] wom
    But it looks the part!
[06:41] wom
    It's really classy.
[06:43] wak
    A coffee cup.
[06:43] wak
    But yours is so unique.
[06:45] ser
    It's an apple.
[06:46] wak
    She was saying apple, apple the whole time.
SIGN    Serizawa Yu's piece
[06:48] wak
    I was wondering what she meant!
[06:50] ser
    I made an apple.
[06:52] wom
    Ah, I see.
[06:53] hon
    Another one of my dreams just came true.
[06:55] tan
    Right?
[06:56] wak
    All of us having fun together was great.
[06:59] wak
    Like you can imagine Himeno
    and the girls doing this
[07:02] wak
    when they're in their club, right?
[07:04] ser
    It was a little too fun though,
    so I hope I wasn't too
[07:06] ser
    engrossed to get this point across.
[07:07] wom
    Right?
[07:08] wak
    I could get into this.
[07:12] tan
    I totally lost track of time.
[07:13] Green
    If you lose control, it's over.
[07:14] tan
    Right, right.
[07:15] tan
    One wobble and it's bad.
[07:17] wak
    Like when I'd done it.
[07:18] wak
    I just started thinking that
    I was getting the hang of it.
[07:22] wak
    So then I tried to do it my
    way and... just messed it up.
[07:26] wak
    It just shows how important these
    delicate feelings are for this.
