Up, Up, UP!

For the longest time I could not throw a cylinder above 8"- it drove me buggy! You know the drill, pulling up, pulling up- measure...still 8". Try again, "pull up", "pull up", so focused.....still 8".

As I mentioned in my last post, I have been ogling at John Bauman's beautiful pitchers. Once I asked him how much clay and how tall? I believe he said 4 lbs of clay and 10" tall....

WHAT??!!



  Well, I am using 5 1/2 pounds of clay and after practicing for, oh, the last year I am finally able to throw a cylinder to 9"

Yea, me!














And the real surprise was after shaping the cylinder I managed a little more height!







Look out 10...I'm working on it~
