Pots by Char Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 having a ball that is just slightly off can cause some major problems. If you bowl on a regular basis have your balls checked every 6-9 months. Its not that the balls will change so much as that your grip will change over time.

Biglou13 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I finally had a break through today, with spiral wedging....... Now mine look like you tube videos......... I'm really second guessing pug mill............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanetteV Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Use right out of the bag. HOWEVER, before using clay the bag is dropped on all sides, about 4 time per side, from a two foot height to soften the clay. To wedge reclaim I use the slice and smack method, and use that clay for slab work. Have severe fibromyalgia plus arthritis all over the body, so varying repetitive motions and limiting time in studio a must! Would I be posting at 4 am if pain didn't wake me? Oh, well - the crickets sound lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Fireborn Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I wedge everything too. I only use commercial clays and I wedge them right out of the bag. I find it just makes the throwing part of the pot better. I also like the exercise same as you. I find it a nice break to bending over the wheel for a few hours, plus it just feels good to wedge for a solid 30 minutes. Glad I am not the only one who enjoys the exercise part.
