Yes, I pinch the form with my fingers. I then let the sphere dry to just almost leather hard and start carving my designs. This is also the time when I carve out a large hole or two for the top of the pot and where to plants peek out of. I will also carve a small hole in the bottom for drainage. When I'm satisfied with my design and placement of all holes, I let the vessel dry all the way to the greenware stage. Then, it's off to the kiln. I hope this answers your question! Thanks for writing in. Sonia Hi Debbie,

Did you not pinch with your fingers and literally carve out your design? What do you mean about carving and letting dry in that huge form.
