" DOs "

Compact the clay well beforehand

Because this way you avoid cracks during drying or
also occur during firing.

Let the clay dry a little on the mold

Because the sound adapts to the superform. The superform withdraws
the moisture from the clay. You do not change the shape when you lift it,
when it has dried well.

" DONT`s "

Allowing the clay to dry for too long beforehand

If the clay dries too long before being molded, it is no longer
the ability to cling to the outer mold. Clay that is too dry
becomes cracked and brittle when over-molded.

Allowing clay to dry on the mold for too long

The clay contracts/becomes smaller as it dries.
So if you let it dry on the mold,
the clay must be separated from the superform, as the superform is too
would become small. The result is a warped plate or
a warped bowl or something similar.
