Questions about this item

Wet the clay, brace your arm, and hold the curved edge against the side of the spinning mound with steady pressure until it stops wobbling.

Yes. The aid helps you feel when clay runs true, but most potters move on to centering by hand once that feeling is familiar.

Keeping steady pressure with braced arms while the wheel turns fast. Brace your elbows against your legs or the splash pan and use plenty of water, but not so much that the clay turns to slurry.

Start with about 1 to 2 lb. Small amounts are easier to control while you learn the hand position.
