Monday advanced pottery class is always good. This week was how to create a casserole dish. First you throw 3 pounds of clay into a round form, no bottom, 4 to 5 inch high and 1/4 inches thick on a bat. Then you throw 4 pound plate completely flat on a bat. Let both dry about 30 minutes. Next, remove the form off of the bat and use your index middle fingers to pull both ends into a rectangular shape. Take the plate off the bat and slap it against the floor to elongate it.
Put the form on top of the oblong plate and seal.
Add handles and you have a casserole dish, serving dish or bread basket.
I guess you have to see it.
Good stuff.
Next was making clay look marbleize. Take about 4 pound of white clay and cut it into three pieces.
Take a darker clay and sandwich in between the pieces. Wedge 9xs in one direction and 9x times in the opposite direction. Throw it.
