I plan on throwing my own pots on the wheel, looking for some suggestions and/or things to look out for. I'm using a cone 6 clay, is that appropriate for winter climates?
secondly, I was thinking about the technique one might use to make an oval pot on the wheel and the only thing I can think of it to throw a round pot, then cut out a small section in the middle and squash the pot on two sides, making an oval.
Is there any other method to throwing an oval pot?
I can do slab construction for the square pots and perhaps ovals as well.
how thick should the bottom and sides be?
I'm going to be throwing some large pots, 16"+ on the minor dimension and probably closer to 22" on the major dimension.
Is there a golden rule with regards to pot length vs depth?
thanks
