Handbuilding over the holiday

We are at our place in the mountains for the holiday and brought 75lb of clay to try various handbuilding techniques. I usually don't have time to experiment when I'm at home so I do it whenever we come up here. Have created 16 so far, pinch, drape, press, slab, stretch and combinations.

A few slabs I rolled this morning and will assemble tomorrow morning before we go out on the lake.
Two small slab pots made with leftovers

Various pots, a few pinch, a drape, a couple of stretched and a a few slabbed. Will take better photos when we get hom on Monday
