A vase in progress.
Transformed vase with small slab of clay.
Same vase with added black slip and engraving.
Same vase with more added slops and engravings.
End result of slips and carving.
Now the vase has to dry and then will be bisqued in the kiln. I have no idea how it will look and how I will glaze it. But for the moment it looks great and the vase has a wonderful texture.
I showed the group how to throw a big plate.
I center the clay and pull it up high as far as possible. Then with a slat I push it down.
The flattened pushed out bowl.
The ripples in the rim happen on its own when you push down the rim.
Today, we evaluated and discussed our progress and work.
