Dear Barbara Kobler,

I teach all sizes and ages. Although I am built like a brick shithouse I =
have weak wrists - a real anomoly. To use aids in centering ( I teach by =
advising not to even try to centre, but by the application of correct =
hand and body shape - always individual ) is avoiding the issue.=20
Use soft clay, correct technique and even old crumbly and wrinly dwarves =
can throw well over 10lbs of clay. On second visit most of my pupils =
(mainly women) can throw using 20 -30lbs of clay. Technique not strength =
is the answer, and all my pupils are the living proof of that.

happy potting marek www.moley.uk.com
