Now anyone who has not seen Marek in his clay prep
should check out his web site.
His wedging is truly a cardio vascular exercise.
He wedges 40-80 pounds of clay and makes it seem like 5.
And while you're at it watch the rest of his demos.....
his work & work ethic is fabulous.
What he produces on that kickwheel that looks like it might
fall over any minute puts a lot of us to shame!
