What a great demo, I still haven't gotten my foam. How do you get the coil to be so smooth? My hands always get in the way. I just put extra slip in my seams and call it done. If I lived closer I'd ask you to give me a handbuilding class to improve my skills, your work flows so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteDamn that's clever! How'd you figure that out!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I let the piece set up a bit and then smear some very soft clay into the seam.
ReplyDeleteTracey, I think once I got over the fear of cutting up a pot, I just sort of started experimenting. It's almost a compulsion now!
Kari, I found by way to your great blog by way of Tracey's blog--and that we are fellow winners of her 'give-away' project! Love your 'baskets'--your work is very masterful looking. I also really like the handles that you pull with the thick ends on each end. Gotta work on that. Nice to meet you, I'll be dropping by from time to time. Gay
