Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: classes, wheelthrowing

Last night during my LILLSTREET THROWDOWN class, we started the night with an “off-the-hump” wheelthrowing challenge! They each started with 8-pounds of clay and about 30 minutes to throw as many small dishes as possible “off-the-hump”… which means working off the top of a bigger lump of clay, only centering & working with a small handful each time until the big ball of clay has all been used up. The “big twist” was that the bowls had to be between 3″-4″ at the rim… and only the ones that matched would count!!!

Big kudos to Will who cranked out the most matching bowls during our quick challenge!
