Jackie Talmey-Lennon on Instagram: "Okay here it is.   A lot of potters open with their thumbs successfully. A lot of potters open with their thumbs unsuccessfully but keep doing it anyway. Some don’t even know their problem is caused by their opening technique.   As covered in my last reel, if your pots are starting centred but somehow pulling off centre later, you may need to change your opening technique. That reel shows how to diagnose it, this one shows how to treat it.   For starters, a thumb opening technique isn’t necessarily bad, but it does invite:  1) Slapping the whole-ass palm against the outside of the clay. You are not stabilizing the clay by doing this. You are creating friction. Friction is not your friend.   2) Pulling in two directions at once.

Twisted Clay on Instagram: "In October of last year, Ryan and I got the chance to go to a workshop with @moondobang and learn the Korean throwing technique. There were aspects that took me a minute to love as it was such a departure from the way I had been taught. There were also things I immediately loved. I must admit that since returning to my studio, I have continued to use much of the technique, but there are things that I have sort of mixed with my old way of throwing.   One thing I love is the opening technique. I have a tendency to hyperextend my wrist when opening large forms and there have been times this has not served me well. The fact that he emphasized keeping your wrist straight when opening clay for throwing, really has helped me when throwing larger forms.
