The class is filled with students with experience, so our instructor didn't start with the usual centering and cylinder instruction. He gave a demo on how to transform a cylinder into a bulbous bodied, long neck vessel (vase). This involved the use of a firm rib. I have some work to do on the bulbous part, and even more work to get the neck to pull - but regardless I like these two vases.

Some Flower Vases in the Works
I started another cycle of ceramics wheel throwing classes again. This time I opted for a darker clay - "Jamaica". It throws nicely and it feels like it has less grog than Soldate 60 and Rod's Bod.
