The pot didn't tell me what to glaze it yet, maybe after the bisque firing.Nice!!!! A smooth. stable shape.. not often seen. I think I love it...
If glazing, please consider the thought of glazing "bottom
heavy".. Just the simple pretext, "Darker towards the bottom"
...that's how my eyes glazed it.
Ehhh ... I'm a schmuck..
That one makes me smile..This one is for you oval pot lovers out there
Forty seventh pot of the 'Special Batch' is done. This pot kind of wore me out tonight, but very happy with the end results.

Not a stupid question at all! I just have my process of making my pots.....in what works for me. I turn my pot on the mini wheel and then let it dry over night on the wheel. By the next day the pot is usually dry. As they dry they shrink and pop off the wheel head themselves. I then either put them aside or put them back into the damp box to rehydrate them. They sit there waiting to be detailed in any case. The detail work I perform is making and attaching the feet, cleaning and smoothing any seams, adding the drainage hole, escape, and chop. I try my best to make sure everything is as symmetrical as possible. Sometimes it takes a while to make the feet look the same or putting them into the correct position. Sometimes I make a drainage hole or add my chop and I don't like the position and fill everything back up to re do it again.
I ALSO end up doing a large chunk of my Detail/Finish procedures in the "Leather-hard-To-bone-dry" stage.
I would think the leather hard stage would be the appropriate time to detail/clean up the pot. If the clay is to soft it will just smear and loose it's shape or if it's to hard you loose the opportunity to shape/adjust. There's a small window when working with small pieces, i'm sure you know this with your smaller pieces. But the upside is if the clay gets to hard all you have to do is drop it into the damp box for a day or two to rehydrate and continue working.I ALSO end up doing a large chunk of my Detail/Finish procedures in the "Leather-hard-To-bone-dry" stage.
Exactly!!
Pretty obvious.

Done!
I have happily signed away all my rights to you!
Thanks! I was getting asked quite a bit if I had a newsletter... .so I ended up setting this one up. It will for sure make it easier to get info sent out.
I know things have changed a lot since I had a website, but it was beyond me. I had to hire someone to maintain it which was a pain in the ass. The fact that my inventory constantly changed required constant updating that was too much for my simple mind.
