Thanks for sharing this! what a great way to do the bottom with this coin to know when to stop in the middle. I also admire how you do the rim first and then just lift everything up. Never thought of that. I normally throw to height and then make the gallery or rim but usually I don’t have enough clay left for a large rim not to mention the water lock seals thing. Very interesting and inspiring!

Why do you throw a separate bottom???

[@sandraunterthiner9763]

What did you put in the middle of the base?

[@nedsneedvanoverbeek1678]

it's been forty years since I sat at a wheel. Sorry to be daft, but why is the base made separately?

I want to be you when I grow up. (I'm in my thirties, so any day now 🤞)
