Throwing a New Idea – Bowls with Indented Rims

This week’s film shows the creation of a new bowl shape. It’s a test really, an indented rim on a bowl and this video shows how they were made from beginning to end. From a lump of clay being thrown on my pottery wheel, to the finished, gas fired objects in my kiln.
