A few handbuilt pieces

Made these over the 4th of July while at our cabin in Anderson Springs, no wheel so I handbuild when I'm there.

2.5" tall flattened coil


1.5" tall cracked slab pot




4" tall cracked pinch pot



6" round crackpot, this technique was inspired by a Mark Smalley vase which he kindly shared with me. The base sagged a bit under the weight of the walls during firing, should have made the base thicker than a 1/4". Next time...
