These are the three small cups I mentioned last week:

I also mentioned trying, but failing, to make a small bottle with a tapered top and spout to go with them. This week our instructor demoed throwing a tall vase and pitcher, both with tapered tops and, following her process, I was able to make my bottle. It was difficult though. After tapering the clay above the neck became all uneven and wonky. Maybe I was not centered properly from the beginning?

Other than the bottle, I made a bowl and a plate. Pictures to come next week. But that’s it for throwing this summer. I have three classes left and they will be spent trimming the rest of my work, glazing, and more glazing. I am so looking forward to seeing the final pieces but the glazing process will be hard. So many colours to choose from and so little idea what they will look like in the end!
