This was my last day to throw another pot for the raku pot bunch. To add to the pressure, I only had 3 lbs of clay left.
I think this was the best cylinder I've ever thrown. I had a 90 degree angle on the inside base of the pot. I don't think I've ever managed that before. The cylinder was so good I didn't know what to do after that 3rd lift. I froze because I was afraid to mess it up. 🤣
Being shocked at a good start is where things started to go wrong for me. Instead of shaping my awesome cylinder into something awesome, I did 2 more lifts because I didn't know what else to do. I blame those pointless lifts for the collapsed walls.
