Up until now, my favorite way to create with clay, was to use a pottery wheel. Recently, however, I've been messing with a slab roller. I'm enjoying the pinch pot look that I can get on a large scale with the use of a slab of clay, a cloth lined bowl as a mold and a wooden spoon to dimple the surface. To create a contrast, I used about 5 coats of dark slip on the B-mix clay and the micro tools just make carving details fun. The bowl is 11 inches in diameter and still drying. Stay tuned for the finish.
