Gerry is making a few Moon Vases for Potfest in Scotland.
He makes two large bowls, which have very thick rims, on the wheel .
When the clay is leather hard, he puts the two bowls rim to rim and joins them with slip and lets them settle in.
Tomorrow he will put the pot on the wheel and turn the middle (where the rims meet) until they flatten out to make one large round pot.
He tries to make the middle the same thickness as the rest of the pot otherwise when it is glazed, this part will absorb more of the glaze and it will look thicker and different.
