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

This week in my Lillstreet Throwdown class, I decided to kick it off with a rousing game of JENGA. With each person taking a turn to “make it taller, without making it flop.” Whoops Sara!!!

And then we followed that up with “Clay Jenga” on the wheel. With two people competing against each other… each doing one pull to make their “shared” thrown cylinder taller. Each person taking a turn to “make it taller, without making it flop.” It had to rise at least 1/4” per person, per turn… and not flop. The last one to do a successful pull won that round & moved on in our class brackets… until we had that one final winner!!!
