very true - you need a good groggy clay. i like soldate60 or soldate30
for my larger bowls. i also found while getting into bigger stuff (i still throw small on the scale of things - generally under 15 pounds) that throwing an UNusually large pile of clay brings out your mistakes. methods that will work with smaller piles can't work with bigger piles. throw the bigger piles for a while & pay attention to what works. when you go back to your smaller amounts you'll see you throw better then before. see ya steve |

"JM" wrote in message ... I want to be able to throw large salad bowls, but I have a problem with sagging just before I finish the throw. Is it better to half throw then left for a while to dry/firm up before continuing to throw? Whats the technique for this? JM Either that, or use a bit more clay and leave the bottom half as a thicker support for the walls and trim it off afterwards - is what I have read :-) Marianne |

Thanks all for your input - some really interesting reading....Steve those
glazes are supurb - I just cant seem to get the running effect that you have achieved (although the glazes at college used to do that) and I really like it. I'll have to experiment a bit more. I'm gonna get back to the wheel and try again - I gotta master this - I'm not one to let something beat me. JM |
