Hi Mairi, thanks for posting. Couple of questions: how do you get the clay off the cylinder form? I’m assuming you let it dry to leather hard before you remove? I have my own method, but it hasn’t been working, always a struggle, so I thought I’d explore options. I’ve never heard of using a stocking, will try! Thanks again
