Preparing Your Clay · Spiral Wedging Technique

Medium

Spiral wedge 750 g for 60 strokes

Step up to 750 g and maintain the cone shape for 60 full strokes without resetting.

This is an endurance round. The spiral should stay tight and consistent from start to finish, with no collapsing or flattening partway through.

Focus points

  • Body weight, not wrist force (your forearms should barely burn)
  • Consistent rotation angle on every stroke (~5–10 degrees)
  • The cone height should stay stable, not creep lower

Done? Slice it.

Cut through the center and confirm: no air pockets, uniform texture.
