Advanced Throwing A Pot. I did no throwing tonight but finished the teapots I made last week. I think they went together quite well and have a distinct shape. I was told by one of my colleagues that they are phallic, I suppose they are if you look at them in that way. I like the very long spouts, the throwing of long narrow spouts is something I have been thinking about for a while as my previous teapot spouts have appeared short and stumpy. I suppose the lids don’t help but I have changed my way of working lids following a conversation during the summer at Wobage. Dan was demonstrating a doubled walled pot, the round heavy looking form is my attempt. I spent the rest of the session using the spray booth. Tenmoku, bring it on. I have a very large charger and a smaller porcelain bowl come through bisque. I have blow up two kiln full’s of work in the garage, it is not my making technique, my kiln gets too hot too quickly. I might glaze fire the kiln this weekend and try to get the reduction to work. Happy days.
