Alright, so here we go. Just get the rim semi-wet. Just enough to where you can pinch it without any dry spots, because I am just going to pinch. Alright. See, watch this. I am going to pinch it right there. Right there. I can feel it more so than you would be able to see it. From here, maybe go in and put your hand behind the wall here and give it a drop down with this guy. Ok. Like that. Now you have this guy rolling. Can drop down with this. Just like that. You do not want to go too far because this will sag a little in the kiln. But, by putting this little flare on it, by putting that little just this angle that this bowl has, it will ensure that during the firing process it does not twist. It holds, it binds it all together. It cannot go anywhere.
