This is the first ceramic piece I created this summer. I used a medium-sized beach volley ball, rolled out clay into little slabs with a rolling pin, then stuck the slabs onto the volley ball and mushed the edges together. I deflated the volley ball once the clay had turned into a leather stage, that way it wouldn't collapse. I had to use a lot of water and smoothing for this after wards to make it have a nice even texture. I added a lip to the top when I was almost done smoothing what I could on the bowl. I enjoyed making this, it was a lot of fun although it took a lot of time!
