Bowled Over!

A couple of people ask for bowls - so I made almost a hundred.  About half of them are shown above.  Sitting in the sun to drive off the atmospheric moisture so that a bisque fire can start tomorrow night when the electrical rates are low.  

In the past I thought that doing one shape, time after time, would be boring.  Wrong!  Not that all of these are the same, far from it, but there is a learning process trying to repeat the same form.  The later bowls are a more pleasing shape to my eye and they took a lot less time to make.  For a few days a pattern emerged where out of one 25 pound bag of clay I would make one 12 pound, one 8 pound and 4 pound bowl.  Let's see how many crack in the kiln.    

Update - - 

No cracks in the kiln.  Paid attention to compression and didn't try to get too thin on the bottom.  Sorted into nesting and groups.  Glazing this week and will try to fire this weekend.
