What You Will Learn?

  • A bowl if one of my favorite forms to make because they are one of the most simple forms to make on the wheel, they are fun to trim and they are also really functional!!! When throwing a bowl you are looking to establish two things: a continuous interior curve and then to pull the walls so that the top 2 inches or so are thin enough.  Ultimately, as long as those two elements are done successfully, the rest will be cleaned and shaped up during the trimming process, stay tuned for that video!.
