"After you have pulled the wall up you are going to shape it now and I have a couple of bowls here which I made yesterday and it is just what I'm going to be doing right now is just giving it a little bit of a push out so it is more rounded. So the bottom of the bowl actually just is like a nice flow rather then a side and a bottom. That is what I'm going to work on now. When I do this you are going to see that I put my sponge in there once in a while to take the water out that is also very important. You don't want the water to settle in there where the clay gets too soft. The way that I'm going to do this right now is the sponge is still on the outside but it is hardly doing anything. My fingers on the inside are now just pushing outward and that is going to give the bowl it's roundness. "
