Pumpkins

I had a really fun time throwing these pumpkins on the potters wheel.  I started with a cylinder, pushed the walls out giving them a rounded shape then squeezing or colloring in the top until the tip top of the walls meshed together creating a closed form.  The form is hallow, filled with air.  It is easy (and super fun) to manipulate it into shape.

Last I cut the lid and put a stem handle on.

Can't wait to see what they look like glazed- I'm thinking of using underglaze.... will post pics when they are done.

Enjoy this fantastic fall!  Teresa
