There is a local (Oregon- Georgies) ceramics shop that makes there own clay. I use 3 different ones

Do they sell online? I have been using terra-cotta clay from Michael’s.

You probably have a Laguna dealer close.

How bout a "viewing angle" shot?

I believe seeing the lip width will help folks appreciate the feet better.

Are you building seperate slabs for the corners?
I dig the wideness of them too.

Two holes, then tie down holes around. I already bagged it. I’ll show more pictures once I fire it

Trimmed the edge, figured I would keep with the angles.

Looks really good, but keep in mind what happens with sharp edges in pottery.

I don’t know the answer to the riddle, remember I started this in August...

There's no riddle.......sharp edges chip with the slightest bump.

Whomever gets this pot will have to be SUPER careful not to bump any edge against anything or else it will chip.

thanks, good to know. Obviously these pots are just for looks.. not functionality

I wish someone would have told me sharp edges chip easy.... @Pitoon

I'm really sorry to see that pot chipped. The design was really nice, and I know how much time you put into making it.

You could save it if you have the chips and some slip of from the same clay.

They chipped in a million pieces. I’ll fire it and use it as a training pot and maybe test some glazes on it...

If you still have access to the same clay you can fix that pot by patching it. You will have to revert the pot back to leather hard by keeping it in a damp box for several days. Once you get it back to leather hard you can also ease all those edges. I think it's worth it for the design of the pot and how much time you've put in making it.

 

[mwar15]

I’ll think on it.

There are some other flaws in the pot. Since this was first time trying this specific design. So I may just chalk it up to a training pot and lessons learned
