At my former work, as a zookeeper, I had a goat or two, which had a kid once
a
year.When time was to wean the babies, we had to milk the goats, for several
times, when their long udders where full with milk. This could explain you
why
it was so easy to me to learn this technique, called by my teacher, "handles
by milking".
I taught this technique, to the first group of women from the neighbor town
Rahat, that had learnt ceramics in my studio .They giggled and laughed, I
thought it reminded them something else than goats.After that I never
taught it again.
