Here is a mega post with all of the forms together! I’ll add new pieces to this each time I finish one!

Tea-Bowls 46 and 47
I decided to try press forming these two. Now everything in the house is getting the once-over-eye as a possible press mold.

These all started on the wheel. 34, 35, 36 and 37 were done solely with the wheel while the other 3 were all modified with pinching and or paddling after.
Tea-Bowls 20 – 23
I really enjoy the variety of this group. I formed #20 with legs from a single slab of clay (a nice change of approach and a good challenge on keeping it loose) #21 is an actual tumbler with a rounded bottom (webble-wobble and all) #22 is really tight, clean, and symmetrical and #23 is the largest I’ve stretched the size of the tea-bowl with a soft bulge of silhouette and hint of a lip. Having this much variety in such a small group of tea-bowls makes me anxious to see how far I can push the form for the remaining 77! For those curious, the white powder you see on the forms is actually cornstarch; I use it as a barrier so the clay doesn’t stick to surfaces when i’m hand building.

I got a little behind on my tea-bowls due to some travel for work, so the next couple of posts will be batches to get back up to speed! With this group I purposefully handled the clay roughly and fought the urge to tighten up the forms. They’re still pretty tight, but it’s a nice challenge.
