First Shape(Only Cross Section)

ewosika23 — 2024-09-27 18:52:23 UTC

So this was my first shape that I got a cross section of, it’s far from a cylinder if that wasn’t obvious enough. Walls are incredibly uneven, base is nonexistent, and the lid isn’t smooth. I remember when I was throwing this I was struggle with undercutting and getting my fingers positioned correctly.

Second Shape (Exterior)

ewosika23 — 2024-09-27 19:00:07 UTC

Outside isn’t half bad, again, very far from a cylinder shape. During this throw I was just figuring out what finger does what, where, how, etc.

Second Shape (Cross Section)

ewosika23 — 2024-09-27 19:03:03 UTC

Walls are very thick and uneven, at this point I was (still sorta am) struggling with recentering, and aspects of shaping.

Third Shape(Exterior)

ewosika23 — 2024-09-27 21:13:37 UTC

Overall the piece is really chunky, I struggled again with undercutting. Shaping was also an issue, yet I was(kinda am) still figuring out what fingers do what.

Third Shape (Cross Section)

ewosika23 — 2024-09-27 21:20:28 UTC

Very thick all around, walls are uneven, imperfect undercut, alongside just general sloppiness. I remember actually undercutting this one and going way too fast and not letting the clay itself balance out.

Fourth Shape (Exterior)

ewosika23 — 2024-09-27 21:22:43 UTC

With this one I was trying to go for the perfect cylinder, yet it obviously flew off the rails. Just by the outside the base is far too thick, and the undercut was uneven judging by the indentations around the clay itself.

Fourth Shape (Cross Section)

ewosika23 — 2024-09-27 21:25:32 UTC

Undercut(s) was obviously very sloppy, the floor itself is uneven as well as the base walls which indicates I went to fast and was reckless. This is also evident by the thick/spaced lines in the walls as well. Yet I noticed improvement when it comes to my lip.

Honorable Mentions

ewosika23 — 2024-09-27 21:27:54 UTC

These next few pieces are some that I noticed overall improvement in all aspects of the “perfect cylinder process”. What I think I struggle with the most is piecing all the steps together and executing them.
