This is my large bowl, it is 3.5 inches by 7.5 inches and made out of red clay. It is short and wide with a round base and clear glaze. This was the first time I have ever thrown with red clay, and it was also the largest thing I have ever thrown. I had to use bigger rib tools and pull up in sections, but for the most part the technique was not much different. The shape is very round and short, it is the classic bowl shape. The shape creates a balanced, proportional design. The red clay and basic shape express naturalness yet functionality in a way that is often associated with indigenous peoples and their historic use of clay.
