Closing the form
Mary helped me with throwing my first closed-form piece yesterday. In essence, it's a bubble. After it's leather-hard, I will then be able to cut a perfectly fitting lid.
May not have explained it very well. I can cut the top part off about an inch down, and it will be a container with a perfectly-fitting lid. Make sense?
A really good pot is in the details. --Doug Casebeer at the Ceramics Workshop in Jamaica '10
There's only one way to grow while making art: take risks and allow yourself to make a lot of bad work, then look at it. I consider what is working well, what missed the mark or confused the reading, what needs to be adjusted on the next one. --Linda Arbuckle in The Penland Book of Ceramics
All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Almost all photos are my property (even the bad ones). Please ask if you would like to copy them. Don't think anyone would, but just in case please ask. Thanks!

That is very cool. I can't wait to see how you glaze it.
