2017-01-11 - Wednesday - Swirl pots

Wednesday I tried something different (I know, go figure) and started some swirl pots. These began as four columns of two different colored clays and they were "swirled" by the throwing.

I then pushed, pulled and prodded them into different shapes because they reminded me of sandstone canyons worn smooth. They need to set up a bit before I stretch them any further.

I started with the clay in this configuration.

This is Antelope Canyon in Arizona.

2014-03-11 - Tuesday - Pushing pots

Tuesday I put some "handles" on the large pot and pushed out the sides of the slab pots.  While I had planned on carving the slabs, I find that I like them as they are.

Onward.
