Last days of September

The working surface has some galactic markers:).
Clay components are starting to amass in the drying room.



Some were made with roller slabs, some hand made..
Cut over 100 various shapes and sizes under 6 cm.
I have yet to make the spacer/shaper pieces.
Trying for some edge texture....(found tool).


Second try at this challenge......
Extruded some coils again, using the cookie press.
Wrapped the coils onto a loose sponge/plastic covered support.



Once they had firmed up a bit I removed the sponge,connected the two pieces of coil and set them to dry on a piece of  firing brick.
The coil has since survived it's second night!
Today(Saturday) I used the wheel to pull a group of irregular cylindrical shapes for further development.



After the stress of working with that fine coil, a Hazelnut Truffle and coffee settle the nerves.:)
