i can center 7 to 11 method and open but i can not pull,having a hard time for some reason..
-
Pulling is all about the feel. You have to do it a lot to get accustomed to using the appropriate amount of pressure. I've been experimenting with larger forms lately, and I've had to get used to applying ,more pressure than normal, to get all that clay up from the foot. I'm still not there, but getting better.

thanks Marcia, ill try that out..

This is totally true. I sit on a tilt back never hurts, and I have a bad back.
-
im about to start so I re-set my chair to where im on a tilt and sat in it and cleaned the wheel real good.. I like how it feels, there is no awkward pressure anywhere..
-
I added some pictures to my gallery under mugs/cups if you would like to look... having fun with base coat color, hopefully when i start making my own glazes i will have a better idea of what i want..
