Adding Coils

I took my slabs off the plaster this morning and cut and refined the edges.  I added a coil to the top of this round bowl shaped slab to make a nice rim.  This ribbed texture is something I've seen around a bit lately so I thought I'd give it a try.

I've made these square dishes in the past but it's been a long while.  I'm going to try and get 3 or 4 in this next firing.  No coil rim added here, just the handles (which started out as coils)

Same thing here on this big oval dish.  I love these.

I'm not sure what I'll do with this guy.  The rim will definitely get some treatment.  This is a big flattish oval.  I've only made a couple of these.  It may need some sort of foot too.  ??  We'll see.

I had four, six pound bowls that I added a coil to and threw feet on.  I like this technique as it gives me plenty of clay to work with and allows me to really give the foot some expression.

You've probably noticed if you click the images they will open up in another window with a description, if I take time to give them one.  If you click them again in that window they will load again as a bigger image.
