I managed to get 4 good sized bowls this week. I threw them Thursday afternoon and trimmed them today (Friday). The trimming went as expected but I really struggled with throwing them. More than one had to be smashed, re-wedged, and re-thrown. The clay tried to whip me, but I won. That really is an indicator of how far I've come. Even though it didn't go well at first and I had to start over, I still managed to get four pieces made. It hasn't been all that long ago that I had to work up 6 or 7 balls of clay if I wanted to make 4 mugs.
