The motion you should make when rams wedging is like the Nike logo shoosh

That’s really useful, I’ll try it this weekend!

Interesting post and challenge. For wedging, I think the first thing to possibly help is secure your table top so there is no back and forth as you wedge the clay. And for smaller bits of clay wedging you might try the ram's head method.

That’s great suggestions! I always forget to fix the table and then realise too late 😅 Can you recommend a link to a good tutorial?

Nice bowl! Did you convert your sunroom to studio? I plan to do that too. I would like to recommend a Shimpo or Brent wheel if you can afford it. Because you are very tall need a decent professional wheel for your art work. If you keep bending like that, you might have a back pain.

[@BrookerCeramics]

Yes I did 😊 I’ve been recommended that one a few times, but I can’t find it in the uk. Do you have any links?
