This project was the first of many to come where it was needed to be done via the wheel. I used a chunk of clay, about the size of a fist and a half, and began wedging it. I centered it on the wheel and applied water whenever needed. After a period of messy work, I managed to complete this almost perfectly symmetrical cylinder. After a day of drying, I scraped off the dried remnants off the bottom and placed it in the kilm once. After, I put a good amount of yellow-mellow high-fired glaze where it finally ended up into this beautiful finished product. I plan on making this into a pot for outside gardening, as it looks like a factory made it because of how symmetrical it appears. It has a slight touch of horizontal lines that are barely visible, and a lightish-dark value of color. The texture is slightly rough, but at the same time smooth.
