Jim Throws a Bowl - In Three Minutes?!!

Jim sat down to throw a bowl the other day and I needed to take a couple of photographs for an upcoming article in a North Georgia publication. So I decided to take a series of shots and make a video.

He had to put the torch to it for a few minutes because the clay was pretty soft. The actual throwing time was more like ten minutes, but the video is three minutes.

Earring Holders


I developed earring holders because I have lots of earrings. They were always getting jumbled up in my jewelry box, so I decided to make something that would hold my most often worn earrings. I throw the base and post on the wheel and then add the round top with some texture. When leather hard, I drill the holes with a Dremel. Almost all of my earring holders are glazed in bright colors and many of them are sold on our Etsy store at www.etsy.com/shop/hollowmountainarts
