A Homemade Clay Tool Simplifies Building a Graceful Slab Bowl | RANDY JOHNSTON

When slab building, sometimes it can be challenging to get a particular shape because if you let the clay stiffen long enough to lose its floppiness, you might end up with cracks in joints. When Randy Johnston had an idea for a form that would be darted to create a dramatic angular bowl, he needed to come up with a way to support the form while it stiffened up. He found the perfect material for making this clay tool in fiberglass roofing panels. In this video, Randy shares his clever solution for graceful slab-built bowls! –Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor This clip was excerpted from In The Studio with Randy Johnston and Jan McKeachie-Johnston, which is available in the Ceramic Arts Network Shop! https://mycan.ceramicartsnetwork.org/...
