1st gallery attempt


I’ve been watching a number of ‘how to’ videos on Youtube recently. I started tonight’s clay session with the express aim of making some Viking cylinder cups. The clay was too squishy and my heavy hands simply couldn’t make the cups work. Instead, as my final piece of the night, I thought I’d try creating a gallery in a jar. A gallery is the little shelf that a lid can sit on. The videos made it sound pretty simple, have a thick rim, run the wooden knife tool through the middle and slowly flatten inward. Well, I did it and it seems to have worked!

Next step & the next first - a snugly fitting life with knob.
