Creating A Large Pot

I decide how wide to make the base. When base is 'leather hard' a second section can be added.

Second section is measured to fit the base.

Base and first section (in background) have been connected and shaped. Next section (foreground) is thrown, measured and will be attached.

Bat (board attached to wheel head used to throw clay on) is picked up off wheel head with the next ring of clay to be fitted to base.

Once section is fitted, bat is removed and refinement of shape can begin.
