Here’s the trimming part of making a double walled bowl. Happy potting and if you make one of these, please send me a picture – I’d love to see it!
When you flip the bowl over, the top is the only thing that you will need to trim (if you want to carve into the outer wall, you can do that later). You may need to smooth the bowl part as well – sometimes there is a dent from closing the form.
Here is part 1 of making double-walled bowls, with instructions. Part 2 will be trimming the piece right side up.
Remember that you are throwing “upside down” – the “rim” of the outside wall is actually the foot of the finished piece!
Center the clay and open all the way to the bottom. However far out you pull the donut of clay will be the diameter of the finished bowl part. Flatten the top of the donut to make splitting it (next step) easier. Clean up the inside of the bowl with a rib or sponge.
