00:00 I like to think about the ghost of Patrick Swayze

00:04 behind me guiding my hands.

00:06 [laughing]

00:08 Hey, I'm Laura Harrier.

00:09 I'm gonna be in the new Spiderman that comes out this July.

00:13 I'm playing Liz Allan, the love interest of Peter Parker.

00:16 We are here at my ceramics studio in Brooklyn today

00:20 and I'm making you some pots!

00:23 So, let's see if we can make a bowl,

00:25 like one and a half pounds would be good.

00:27 You need to start kneading the clay.

00:30 It's kinda making me outta breath.

00:31 Like I've been doing this forever.

00:35 First thing we do is center the clay.

00:41 Staring down it's a little hypnotizing.

00:43 You kinda just like are completely out of it.

00:47 So, now that it kind of is there,

00:49 I'm gonna start to make the hole.

00:51 I'm gonna widen it.

00:52 I'm gonna open up the center.

00:54 I think an actor's a weird job

00:55 because you are, sort of, an artist or whatever

00:57 but you don't have this tangible thing that you make.

01:00 It was actually right after I tested for Spiderman,

01:03 they made me wait like 6 weeks before I heard anything

01:06 and I was going crazy.

01:07 So I took a ceramics class

01:09 and I just kind of got back into it.

01:11 You start with this lump of nothing

01:13 and then you can create all these things.

01:15 And it's just nice to make things with your hands.

01:17 And now, we're gonna bring up the walls.

01:21 And it'll keep getting taller, like that.

01:24 And then we'll, sort of, start to shape it into our bowl.

01:28 So, I think this guy is done.

01:31 Tada!

01:33 It was like a ghost,

01:35 but then was in a flashback, too.
