Drape Mold Oval Dish
Thursday, July 15, 2010 at 4:32PM After all that work on those two molds yesterday I decided I didn't really want a rectangular shape after all. And I didn't want those hard corners either. So I moved on to plan C.

I think I will like these bigger ovals with the soft curves better than I would have the rectangles. We'll see. It will probably be Sunday at the earliest before I get to show a finished dish. Check back. Thanks.

That is one heck of an idea. What book are you getting all this from? BTW, after I saw your video with Clary Illian's book, I went straight to Amazon and ordered it. I especially enjoyed the last chapter. Her take on being a studio potter and why we do this really hit home and made me feel better about quitting my 'day job'. I should really take a day trip and visit Ely. It's only about 3 hours from where I live. :)
Hey Becky Jo, This is just stuff I've picked up over the years. Randy Johnston makes good use of this cut out board technique, he even makes teapot spouts and handles with this method.
I've been thinking about flying out to visit Clary this year. I really want to. If I lived 3 hrs away I'd be there in a heartbeat. Let me know if you go, maybe I can get you to pick me up a couple pots! :-)
nice one ron, cool demo on the oval technique too..
I love it when you press record.. great demo Ron.
We used to use this method for hammering out our hollow forms in silver. I was tickled to see Randy Johnson make really beautiful use of this technique.
