I took a class in Costa Rica last summer on hand building and burnishing. Tried to bring what I learned to this pitcher. Half burnished. #pottery

I'm making a coffee table with an embedded tile. This was a practice because it curled when it dries but I'm really happy with it.

an impossible dowl. it started to show hairline cracks as I grabbed the heatgin. was able to spong the cracks together as it spun. pretty iffy that it will make it out of the kiln but it's kinda exciting ti throw right on the edge like that. :)
