THREE BOARDS, THREE BOWLS A PIECE

My wife came down and took this quick picture which is admittedly not the most exciting photo of work in progress. The photo shows board number two with two, 2.5lb shallow bowls made, three bowls to a board and eight bowls needed for an order. I am throwing nine bowls in total with the hope that all goes well with four bowls yet to throw at the time of this picture. I received an email last week for a small order of eight of these bowls and finally got around to throwing them today and though this is not exactly a large order, every order counts and ultimately helps fill the kilns. This group is simple as you can see, the form is well practiced and they will all be tooled in the same manner and glazed in iron yellow with the lips or flanges being dipped  twice to encourage running and presenting a different surface than the interior. Nothing all that complicated, simple form, simple throwing, simple tooling and simple glazing but every day that I can throw is honestly a pretty good day and ending up with another bowl for the cupboard is okay as well.
