I
am not sure where I got infected but somehow I got this bug to throw a group of
covered jars where the flange is in the bottom half of the pot. Pictured are
the parts for two of the four tops/bottoms that I threw; pots that will be
slipped, carved and one for the sunset and leaves design and the last one will
be thick combed slip and all four will have various ring knobs or thick slab
handles applied. This particular group is of smaller covered jars that will fit
between larger bowls allowing them to fit in various spaces acting as filler
and I suspect I will use the iron yellow, Ao+ and Oribe glazes to finish them.
Step one was obviously throwing them and tomorrow I will tool, assemble and
slip them and if they firm up enough, carve them in the evening. I'll post a
few photos of the pieces in their green state and again once they are glaze
fired which at this moment seems like a long, long way off.
