How to hand build a pottery bowl:
Troy rolls out a slab of clay then uses a rolling pin to create the wave texture. He uses a homemade stencil to cut out the outside shape of the bowl and lays that over a form to create the bowl shape. Then he sprays a silicon mold for the bubble pattern with standard cooking spray to prevent the clay from sticking and presses the clay into the mold. After that he scores the bubbles and the bowl and lays the clay out in the center and glues it together using slip. He uses the same technique with the turtle mold, and scores the turtle onto the bowl with some slip. He has so much fun hand building his turtle pottery bowl!
This is a great way for pottery beginners to learn ceramic hand building techniques!
