Hello Outi! I have been practicing your approach when throwing. And I must say it is the best! I cannot thank you enough! But, I also notice that you are the only teacher I have found that actually emphasizes the inside-finger(s) to push ‘out’ toward the outside-finger which serves to receive/control the clay mass being pushed. I believe this subtle gesture is what actually forms that ‘bulge’ on the outside that we all are familiar with. By pushing the clay outward it lands on top of your outside-finger (which sits slightly lower than the inside due to the 1/4” floor) which then would ‘lift’ the clay upward in concert with the inside finger which is constantly feeding new clay onto the outside finger. The majority of others seem to always push IN & UP with the outside knuckle thus forcing that ‘bulge’. So, my question is why don’t others take your approach? That 1st pull still seems magical in execution for me. You insight is appreciated. Cheers, Damon
