And Without Further Ado...

Lots of things!

First, the espresso cups, pre-trimming:


Of course they aren't all the same, but they are close enough for government work if you ask me!

Next, the goblets:

Unattached, obviously. I'm going to have to throw a chuck to trim the stems in. Cynthia is going to help me with that endeavor next week. For a first go, though, I think they turned out decent.

My first lidded pot:

Eh. Hopefully, in this case especially, practice will make perfect...

A Big Bowl:
A bit skiwompus, but whatev. It's pretty tall, not really practical, actually. Probably will end up being given away eventually.

I did not have much luck throwing last night. I'm not sure what the issue was, but I imagine it had a lot to do with my Half and Half being extremely stiff. I'm not so sure I like the Half and Half, to be honest. I think I'll go back to Dave's Porcelain when I'm done. I have a lot of recycled clay hanging around that should be used though...

Anyway. I threw two bowls, one out of recycled clay (a mix of Daves and Death Valley that was still very soft) that I turned into a flower, and the other which I hope to make into the base of a little idea I had for a sculptural piece...
