Bowls
We have bowls in all sizes and shapes. Well, maybe not in all sizes and shapes, but at least in alot!
Bowls are the most basic shape in pottery, next to a blob of clay. It's the shape you end up with when you first start to spin that blob of clay around in a circle on the wheel. Once you've opened up the blob while it's on the wheel it will naturally take a bowl shape. The more you draw it up to make it higher, and thinner, the more it will stretch out into a bowl shape.
If you go too far it will collapse and you'll end up with a blob again, a flat blob!
