This project is designed to help students control forms on the wheel. The goals are to make your cylinders have even wall thickness throughout, an even top edge, and straight walls.
Each student will make 4 cylinders. One you will cut in half in front of the class, one you will save and create an interesting surface design on it, and the other two you will put into the pug mill. We are also learning detachment with this project--not to get too attached to your projects, as sometimes it is best to recycle something and try again if it did not come out as good as you know it could have!
Use these examples to get ideas for your cylinder that you will save...piercing, wax resist, sgraffito, overglaze experimentation, lids....all great ideas for making your cylinder spectacular!
