centering the body of the vessel
the body of the vessel is opened
lifting walls of the body of the vase
using the scraper on the body to smooth the walls
neck on base and lobing of base complete
smoothing the walls of a tumbler
tumbler is now complete
looks like a commercial - conner showing the sherrill mudtools that he uses
centering a small (1.5 pound) ball of clay
that mouth is always open - answering a question about the form that he is making
final centering
we missed a few steps - the vase has been thrown (one piece) and is now upside down and conner is elongating the neck
as conner answers questions, you get a full view of the way he has suspended the vase
after stretching the neck, it is back on the wheel to finish the base
lobes in base (look closely) and ready to alter the neck
conner talking vessels
