Subject: Wedging problems
I seem to be having problems wedging my clay.
1) Now that it is 100+ degrees out (ugh!) my clay seems to be drying out
faster than I can wedge it. I spray with water and wait, but not much
changes once I go back to wedging.
I am short (under 5') and only weigh about 100 lbs - my arms feel like
they are breaking off! Although I'm sure if I keep this up my upper arms
will look awesome - providing I can last through the pain!
I do have a wedging table, and I try to slam my clay down as hard as I
can, but I am still getting air bubbles.
2) I have a slab roller, can I put my clay through the roller, take out
fold in half, roll again, and repeat this method? Or will I keep trapping
air?
Can anyone please help me with my wedging problems??!!
Thanks-
Bunny
