Four New Faces
This morning brought a three-hour session of improvisational sculpting at PIP Coffee & Clay. I broke some new ground by doing the heads of the larger-scale chess king and queen using pinch-pot technique rather than wheel-throwing for their heads. It seems a more intimate, tactile way to do portraiture.

These are really cool! By the way, I had a breakthrough in my pottery class. We discovered that I’m more comfortable on the wheel when I reverse the spin and use my hands like I’m left handed! Go figure!
That’s great, Chocolate Lady!! We are kindred spirits in that I am left-handed, but throw on the wheel right-handed! Wild!
Really? My teacher is also left-handed, but she can do both directions.
