Pulling not only makes the walls taller, but thins them out as well. A pot that has not been pulled enough will be too thick, and explode when fired in the kiln. Place a cupped, guiding hand on the inside at the base, and place a firm knuckle or fingertips at the outside base. The hand on the inside should be slightly above the outside hand. Pressure is now applied from the outside and supported on the inside. Slowly move both hands up while slowly releasing pressure until right at the rim there is virtually no pressure at all. A thicker ring of clay above the outside hand should rise and the pot will grow taller and thinner. A good potter will re-center the rim after each pull, keeping in mind that less pressure is needed as the pot grows larger. Pulling is analogous to a child's elementary school years because the basic form and outcome begins to appear. .
The pot may only be pulled a few times before it rebels and goes in its own direction. I am sure every parent knows this truth when it comes to pressuring his or her own children. Forming the pot is when the fully pulled vessel is ready to become what the potter is deigning. Sometimes the potter will use a tool to help form the pot, and other times the artist will do it alone. Forming must be done carefully so the pot is not ruined by hasty movements or by going too far and collapsing. Bulging sides, a flared rim, narrow neck or elegantly lifted shoulders are all examples of what might be formed from a plain cylinder. A child is formed as they go through junior high school. They are formed sometimes by their parents alone, but nearly always by a mixture of their parents and outside influences. .
The pot is released from its airtight bond to the wheel head at this point. Before trimming, a pot must be allowed to dry to the leather hard state. This is when it can no longer be formed, but is still moist enough to trim excess clay off of, and slight movements are still possible.
