Hi nc,
Seems like you had a good time at the Classic.
I think there are nine ways to skin a cat.
Same with the clay and additives etc.
Since the Industrial Revolution most potters have gone by the wayside.
But I can guarantee you, tremendous pleasure from playing in the mud.

 just a few other fun clay things. I shattered the cool Clovis taking it off the shelf. lol

iowabow:
Here is a modern bowl I pulled from the kiln yesterday.

Zuma:
Nice iowabow.
Did you spin the glaze on the wheel?
My boy has been telling me he's bored.
I sent him this link with a pot he did back in High School.
Hope he gets back into it.
My pot is taking for ever to dry?

iowabow:
I used the pottery wheel to make the bowl. The glaze was dipped and then the center colors were poured in then poured out.

Zuma:
It's interesting that Native American potters were not much at glazing.
Although it's beginning around 3,000 years ago makes it pretty primitive.
Glazing is a rewarding experience. Like anticipating what things have turned out like when the kill door is opened.
Well I may be able to fire this pot in a week or so.
here is a cool link.
