In this video I show you how to create a wide serving bowl on the pottery wheel. Making this rounded bowl is so satisfying. But bringing the clay out into that generous curve can lead to slumping. In this video, I share 5 tips to avoid slumping when making shallow wide bowls. I then reveal a decorative method that is simple and effective. This video takes you from clay preparation through to the final product. So let's dive on in!
The YELLOW RIB featured in nearly every video has been with me for years and I use it for shaping, refining & compressing. I would never want to be without. It's hard to loose... and it just carries on. Along with my wheel - this is with me for the long haul! I would strongly recommend it here:
