2015-02-19 - Thursday - Pots

On Wednesday night I tried to make a large garlic pot, but it slumped so I recycled the clay. I also made another pot that turned out a bit heavy in the bottom third.

Thursday night I tried carving some of the weight out of the second pot, but I wasn't happy with it so I recycled that one too.

I threw these two pots and called it a night.

Since I didn't make it to the studio over the weekend, I went in on Monday night to try to catch up. I threw some bowls for the empty bowls collection and worked on about eight pounds of clay which became this pitcher shape. I fiddled with it for far too long and realized it was very heavy and the walls were uneven, so I ended up slicing it in half.

Nick was there working on his planters and we had a nice time chatting about just about everything.

Nice form...

...but way too heavy.

While I was cleaning up
I set the wet splash pan down
on the canvas and
when I picked it up
I was surprised to find
a pretty good smiley face under it.

Be of good cheer.
(My splash pan says so.)
