I threw a large platter and a large vase last two days. I used a really soft clay for the platter and a semi-soft clay for the vase. Vase is three sections. I wanted to two sections, but cut off too much clay from the top early on. I probably leave the platter undecorated and have a fun with the glazing, and decorate the vase with carving and stamps. The bottom section of the vase is a bit taller than I wanted. So I need to disguise it. There is lots of trimming for them.

Wow amazing work! I used to throw my plates with clay on the slightly firm side but after experimenting I much prefer it softer even though it means you have to throw quickly!
Thanks. I prefer the firm side of the clay,but am trying to switch to soft clay. It's hard. I may learn to throw loosely,that I can't do.
