Oh yeah 💪 I hit my #bowlgoal The secret really was to start with more clay! BUT I learned that centering six pounds of clay is ✨really hard!✨ Even when it is brand new, right out of the bag with perfect hydration, etc. As the old joke goes, how do you end up with a million dollars? Start with two million… I lost probably 1/3-1/2 the clay to centering issues. But I do have my bowl 😁 and now I know to try three or four pounds next time. Also, meet the shrink ruler, a cool tool that measures how big your piece WILL BE after it shrinks in firing. #pottery #ceramics #clay #art #artstr #sorearms #wrensnest #handmade
