I used to make pottery in high school, although back then they were mostly (bongs) vases. ;-) I did that wretched wedging, and you're right-a machine is the way to go!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-55560159110322184662008-01-13T03:08:00.000-06:002008-01-13T03:08:00.000-06:00zhakee: Thanks for the visit and comment.Contrary...zhakee: Thanks for the visit and comment.<BR/><BR/>Contrary to what some purists claim, I don't think the clay really knows or cares whether it has been wedged or pugged, but your wrists, arms and various other body parts certainly know the difference.Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374936227735741953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-28762283307068079012008-01-12T18:23:00.000-06:002008-01-12T18:23:00.000-06:00I just discovered your site and am enjoying readin...I just discovered your site and am enjoying reading many of your posts. Once upon a time I did a bit of clay work, and that wedging was HARD. I didn't know there were devices that do all that "kneading", but it sure makes sense that someone got tired of a full body workout while trying to do a bit of pottery...Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919620650074666155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-75278628936161418692008-01-09T23:36:00.000-06:002008-01-09T23:36:00.000-06:00Lana: Some traditionalist say that there's a sere...Lana: Some traditionalist say that there's a serenity and "oneness" with the clay that come from wedging. Me thinks carpel tunnel syndrome is the main outcome of wedging.<BR/><BR/>Mary: Pottery is a hobby gone bad -- so bad that it's become a job. <BR/><BR/>Sherry: That sound like a deal to me.
