It is mighty warm in the studio at this time of year. I keep hoping it will lead to weight loss, but so far it hasn't helped me or my pots.
Bottles a' la Joe.

I absolutely LOVE those bottles. How are they made? Bottoms thrown, altered and then the tops slapped on, then a thrown neck added? Very nice stuff!
You've got the whole procedure. Make sure to throw them pretty wonky (that's the hardest part for me: intentional wonkiness). Tops are indeed "slapped on". I use the back of a wooden spoon to slap the edges down. After that, just decorate the heck out of them and don't be afraid to add some slip for texture.
Most important part: Have fun.
Joe usually rakus his and sometimes sprinkles glass pellets on the wet glaze. They really finish spectacularly. I would settle for half the results he gets.
