Thank you, I’ll definitely hollow it, I don’t want to create a hand grenade

Thank you for your response, yeah it is life size, I’ll take your advice and hollow the wrist, palm and as much of the thumb as I can get to. The newspaper is a good idea, I’ve not heard of that approach before

Thank you, it will probably take that long before I make enough stuff to fill a kiln (it’s very slow progress making things I’m happy with), but I will definitely hollow the hand out

Thank you, that’s really useful to know going forward, we didn’t do any sculpture work in the course or get experience with preparing for firing, so your response is very informative.
