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.
