In this week's video I'm throwing and trimming a simple stoneware bowl form. I'm trying something new in this video, as you watch I'll include a number of cross-sections and diagrams to help explain some of the topics I speak about. Please let me know what you think and whether these sorts of images help with my explanations.
Here's a link to the spiral wedging how-to video I spoke about:
