Bowls: Today's Wet Clay

Three shots of the four bowls I made today on the wheel.  These are the first bowls since last Fall, and I feel happy to have done so well after all this time.  (I relearn how to throw on the wheel almost every summer, for I don't keep up my skills during the school year.)  

The bowls are medium to small in size, as you can see by comparison with the standard shop bucket and with my foot there.  (I wear a size 11, usually ; my foot is an actual foot in length.)

Now, three shots may seem excessive here.  I mean, it's just four bowls.  Not one shot seemed to convey the real shapes and sizes the way I wanted.  I'll have to consider composition and angles more closely next time.

Wet clay: the studio mix of recycled Navajo Wheel and Stoneware.
