Speedy Cylinders

I made three cylinders in an hour and fifteen minutes (including setup/cleanup). That's FAST compared to what I was doing before. I'm getting much better at centering. I have taken pictures of all three, I will post them once they have been uploaded to my computer. The first one used a lot of clay, but the next two I only used half as much. It was much easier working with a smaller amount of clay to make the same sized vessel.

I Thought I had the Camera...

Turns out I forgot to put it into my backpack but...

I made another cylinder today! This time it was very thick on the bottom and also thick on the top, however the base was much wider than the top. Practice practice practice...

Talked with Ann today, she suggested making a bunch of cylinders and creating a sculpture out of them while they are leather hard. (cutting and fitting etc.)

"Cylinder"

Well.... It's almost a cylinder. It looks more like a bulbous urn thing. My dad has the camera this week, but by the time next Monday rolls around there'll be new pic's of all the different cylinders I make this week.

More Trimming...

Due to my poor job throwing the bowl, I needed to spend lots of time trimming it. Right now it's looking pretty good, so hopefully it will be in a 'complete' condition soon. While trimming the bottom I ruined the lip... so I had to fix that. All of this could be avoided by doing a better job throwing!
