NOT fun... but learned a lot and was also inspired afterwards. haha I also tried to throw them in 1 go and quickly realized I couldn't.

But, if your goal is to create decorative pottery that has a unique structure that isn’t the same all around, then hand building is a cool option.<br /><br />But, if you’re doing hand building, you have a few different ways to do it, and they are as follows:<br /><br />Slab pottery, where you make slabs, attach them and score and slip them together, ideal for flat structures<br />Coils, which involve rolling out coils and attaching it to a flat surface and then blending together, good for more rounded or cylindrical bowls<br />Pinch pottery, where you pinch and pull the clay outwards in order to create a unique shape, good for those who want something a bit easy<br />But, if you’re someone who thinks this is a little easy, you might want to consider throwing pottery on the wheel, which we’ll discuss in the next section. <br />Thanks.Jahirsharifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859187737411802648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-11934470388493411252019-09-12T09:31:38.513-07:002019-09-12T09:31:38.513-07:00Thanks!

We would then throw a second bottomless, thick "flower pot type shape, score and slip, then put the two together. Then we would keep throwing from the join up.virginia piazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253694634060976139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-79819266432051786532019-09-08T14:02:13.549-07:002019-09-08T14:02:13.549-07:00That's incredible!
