Big Pot Mania
I must admit to a slight case of Big Pot Mania this week. It usually hits after I see Doug Fitch post pictures of recent work or after I have made a few dozen bowls or plates. It also is a good project for mixed reclaim clay because these don't need to match anything else. These are done with thick wet stacked cylinders then rethrown. They are about 12 to 15 lbs each. As a final step, I have been inflating them with a small shop vac set on blow. Works like a charm but don't over do it or the jugs can burst. I showed you the first one in my last post but here are a couple of more. The last one is my favorite but all 3 suit me pretty well.I also included a bisque load of stoneware that I fired this week.

I like the strap handle on that bottom jug it works!
ReplyDeleteThe bottom jug has all the right proportions, it will be a beauty when it's glazed and fired!

ReplyDeleteGreat pots - it's interesting to make stuff that doesn't have to match sometimes isn't it?
