This was a hand built bowl, that I made outside of class. I used a play dough extruder to make my ropes of clay. I coiled them up and used a plastic bowl as my form. When all the coils and balls of clay where in place, I used a wooden spatula to paddle them flat and together. I loved how the round balls of clay turned into triangles. I used a wooden dowel to place the decorative edge impressions. For the glaze, I dipped the bowl into Spotted Shino twice, then I wiped most of the glaze off the outside but not the inside. I was a little disappointed that the cracks between the rolls on the inside were filled in with the glaze. You can see them better on the outside, but the glaze feels rougher.
