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

Tonight’s class demo is always one of my favorites – basic bowls on purpose!
Not a cylinder gone bad… and oops, there it is… voila’… a bowl?!!!
Instead, a bowl made intentionally from the start, with a plan, on purpose.

So I started with a quick demo of how to make the basic bowl.
And then continued to show the class how you can simply & quickly alter the rims
of the bowls to make them a little less basic… and a little more style, a little more fun!
Some simple twisting, torquing, slipping, stamping, swirling, etc. A little time
drying, then I can do a little stamping… and look, we have a bunch of new bowls!!!
