Pushing down too much. I used to have this problem with porcelain, but when opening up on really soft clay, you don't need to push as hard because it is very responsive. Also, the angle of your fingers plays a role. If I push straight down with my thumb, clay is forced out of the way. It goes to both sides of my thumb. If I angle my thumb so that the thumbprint is facing the wall a little, almost all of the clay goes that way. Of course, if you are throwing lids with knobs, pushing straight down is what you want.

i know this is quite late, but using a wooden rib to smooth it out or the side of your palm to do pulls are two very helpful methods

Using wetter clay means he doesn't need to wet his hands as much, so there is very little mess.

Wrap the rim with plastic bag while the center is drying.

Nora Dekovich from the looks of it, he's using a plaster bat which will generally become extremely easy to remove once it teaches leather hard, which is the perfect stage for trimming.

Susan Delgrande I think he mentioned in earlier videos he uses porcelain clay

hi

This is one of my very early videos which I shot at the place I work. Back then I also don’t know much about how to edit my videos.

Just turn the sound off. I do this when the demonstrator does not speak the same language that I can understand
