Pottery...with a spin

    Thanks to a contact through a friend, we were able to move to a whole new level with pottery.  Jake took a spin on the pottery wheel "throwing" the clay.  I guess he has watched enough (combined with his amazing attention to extreme detail)...because he did it like a pro. 

     Joe was unsure about "throwing" the clay and using the wheel prior to our arrival.  So, he planned to make some pinch pottery.  While he is anxious to make something on the wheel now that he has seen how it is done, he did a great job creating this piece.   He started with a bowl that he wasn't pleased with.  So, he re-worked the clay and created this bowl.  And he added a "spin" on it by rotating the bowl to add lines and holes on the outside.    I love the intensity on his face as he works!

    They will glaze the pottery soon!   Can you guess the colors they will each choose? :)
