Conquering the Wheel · Opening the Center

Medium

Open and widen (500 g)

Open the center and widen the floor in one smooth session.

Center 500 g, open, and then pull your fingers outward along the floor to widen it to about 8 cm diameter.

Focus points

  • The floor stays flat as you widen (not scooped or domed)
  • Wall thickness remains substantial (you haven't thinned them yet)
  • No thin spots in the floor; check with a needle tool in 2–3 places

The interior should look like

A flat-bottomed well with thick walls. Like a donut with no hole on top. You're just making space: the pulling comes next.
