good elephant pottery

Seven Bowls

1/30/2011

I tweaked the proportions of my most popular bowl. Now it's 1cm narrower and 1cm taller. This bowl is designed for eating while sitting on the sofa in front of the tv, and the deeper shape adds to its functionality. But here's what really excites me ... I used to fit only 5 bowls on a kiln shelf, with some smaller spaces left over for smaller pots. But now I can squeeze seven bowls on a shelf, with no wasted space. This makes me snort with nerd laughter.

Mea, I love it when people snort with nerd laughter!! Seriously, beautiful work. I love hearing about teachers getting excited about their students' accomplishments.
I've been thinking about creating a page on my website www.pottery-on-the-wheel.com dedicated to short interviews with pottery teachers and artists. I'd love to interview you about your advanced pottery class if you'd be willing.

Now thats a tightly packed kiln! I must admit I sometimes struggle when I come to kiln packing, I guess I need to practice more!

I was just thinking about my work and how it related to kiln posts/shelves earlier this week. Hard to believe such a small modification made a huge impact! Thanks for sharing this.

I have had just such a feeling! I enjoy a good kiln loading challenge and love when I fill every inch. :D
