2 Part Thrown Vase

I have wanted to try and throw a 2 part pot for some time now so I thought I'd give it a shot and see what happens and I am quite pleased with the results and will definately keep doing it in the future.

Agateware Pots

Here's some agateware pots where I had some control over the pattern. I wedged 2kg ball of clay then got a loop tool and cut out a coil of clay then replaced it with a terracotta coil of the same size. Then I threw it on the wheel to make a vessel and it created a spiral of terracotta clay. I experimented with different amount of coils, shown here are 1, 2 and 3 coils.

Agateware Pots

We have been given a new project at college where we get to chose what to do, I am hoping to focus on my throwing and using a mixture of cay or the same clay with coloured stains/oxides mixed in. Here's the 1kg pots I threw a couple of days ago turned so they have a foot to stand on.
