How to play Chill Pottery — throw and glaze a virtual pot
Chill Pottery is a potter's wheel seen from the side: a lump of clay spins, and dragging along it pulls the wall outward or presses it in, sculpting the vase's whole silhouette like a real surface of revolution. When the shape feels right, switch to glaze and paint colour that rings the pot as it turns.
How do I shape the pot?
In Shape mode, drag along the clay: your finger's distance from the centre becomes the wall's radius at that height. The Pull tool sets the wall directly, Widen and Narrow nudge it out or in, and Smooth relaxes lumps away — with three brush sizes for broad or fine work.
How does glazing work?
Tap a glaze colour (it switches you to Glaze mode) and paint on the pot. Because the wheel is spinning, the colour wraps all the way around the vase in bands — just like trailing a brush on a real thrown pot.
Can I control the wheel speed?
Yes — the – / + buttons in the top toolbar change the spin, ⏹ stops the wheel and ▶ starts it again. Slower spins let you place glaze more precisely; faster spins lay smooth even bands.
How do I share my pot?
Press ⇪ in the toolbar: your vase is rendered into a looping GIF of the pot spinning. Phones open the native share sheet; desktops download the file. Clear gives you fresh clay to start over.
Can I use Chill Pottery offline?
Yes — fully. After your first visit the whole toy is stored on your device and works with no connection at all, airplane mode included. You can even install it from your browser menu and use it like an app. Free, no account, nothing locked behind a signal.
