Finished Pieces Firing #1


 Large Bowl
Clay Body: VW

This bowl came out amazing. It is my favorite one by far and I hope to recreate it many times. Tim actually gave me some money for it so he could send it to his Dad as a thank you for sending him a bit of money. I hope this bowl is the first of many like it to come.
