The Big Reveal

Here is the latest batch of Moon Jars from my kiln. I have been trying to build up enough stock to be able to send some of them off to good homes!

Making the Two-Piece Pot

This video shows the process of making a two piece moon jar. It starts with making two large bowls of exactly equal diameters. Obviously, while throwing the second one you've got to work it so that it matches the diameter of the first. By making a groove in the lip of one bowl and a pointed lip on the second, the two bowls can be joined together perfectly (so long as their diameters match!). I learned this tip from Dave Kim the Potter at Sculpture Space who made this video for me.
