PULLING

ca: ESTIRAR

es: ESTIRAR

Pulling to make a handle. Hold the clay in both hands; pull it downwards with your right hand, slowly and evenly to make it into a long round cylinder, then press and indent it for shape and form. This can then be attached to the main body of the piece to form a handle. Another way to make a handle is to attach the clay to the jar first and then pull it.
