Was wondering of those on this list, who also have hand/wrist problems,
what methods you use to prepare your clay - rather than wedging? I've had
both wrists done already - ouch - turn 40 this month and take x-strength
arthritis med. daily. I'm certainly not in a position to wedge clay on a
regular basis. I read in a post yesterday something about Jepson videos and
slamming the clay, which is basically what I do now if I am using reclaim to
throw with (usually use outta bag and slam a few times). Anybody got the
skinny on best methods?

Would also appreciate info/pic for glaze geyzer.
