"David" Throwing Coils...

I keep forgetting to take the camera with me to the studio, so I had to "make" some photos to show you what I've been working on (meaning those large coil thrown vessels).

So here we go...


This first photo is of "me" adding a coil of clay to the top of the vessel that "I'm" working on.


I will continue to add coils a couple at a time, then throwing them to build up the pot.


After I throw the coils I take a torch to the wet coils so that they dry out. I do this so that they can support the weight of another layer of coils.

I do promise to post "real" pictures of those vases that I'm working on soon.  But I hope you enjoyed the photos of "me" working on these pots.
