For Valentines Day I hosted a couples night. Each person made a bowl from clay that I had centered and picked up to two glazes. I trimmed the feet and then did the quick dips. Not a bad money if you are able to quickly center 2 lbs of clay 40 times in a night and trim 20 strange shapes quickly. -

Watched the bowl and the mug videos. Just now learning about throwing. Post more if you got them, be glad to watch. Will never make a mug however, my hands are too big.

Great video Matthew! Nerd, I made a small tea set for my daughter, so it's not hard to make small things. And if all else fails, just make big mugs!

Smooth edges also help avoid cracks from coming. -

Cutting the edges with a paper template. When cutting leather hard slabs, the knife only has to go 3/4 of the way through. Don't scar your boards and tables! -

Scratching the back of tiles helps reduces cracks during the firing.
