With the wheel going at a slightly slower speed to gain more control, we're going to,
with our sponge, we're going to wet the top of the form, having water flow down equally
on both sides, and gripping the sponge with our thumb and index finger. Our left hand
is placed inside, right hand on the outside of the three o'clock position, and our left
hand is going to lightly trace that curve, that we've made in the floor of the bowl.
Our right hand is going to be pushing in, our right fingers, and we are going to start
the V shape, by slightly more pressure with our left hand pushing out, right hand supporting.
Start at the bottom. Go to the middle, and when you get to the top, make believe the
form is still there. You're going to slightly leave the piece, gripping it at the top with
your left hand to support it, right hand with the sponge. Round out the top of the bowl
shape to compress it, to give it more strength, and to keep the symmetry.
