Ram's head wedge 1 kg

Scale up to 1 kg with the ram's head method. The challenge here is maintaining a single cohesive lump: heavier clay tends to tear if your rhythm is off.

Checkpoints

• No tearing or splitting at the fold point
• Symmetrical shape maintained throughout
• 50+ strokes without losing form

Final test

Slice through the center. You should see:

• No air bubbles
• Even moisture distribution
• No dry spots from over-exposed surfaces
