Quick Question
How many of you enjoy throwing "off the hump" more than other methods? And if you are throwing off the hump - do you find your work is more creative than when you throw from the bat upwards?
I only throw off the hump with small things, but I'm not sure I'd say I really enjoy it. It just makes more sense than centering little bits of clay for each and every piece.
Cynthia When i posted the above had just finished throwing the most miraculous piece - off the hump. It's one the first truly "creative" pieces i've thrown and was so delighted, wondered if others were experiencing this too . . . . Will post a pix of it soon (computor is acting up and it's a real pain to do photos !) Hugs Chae
