I threw it up fairly high, probably at least a foot or more, then used the electric hot air gun to dry the clay until it was steaming a bit, especially lower down (I avoided "gunning" the rim). Then I added a doughnut of clay, joined it well before throwing it higher. The tallest pot used two such coils. <BR/><BR/>I have finally finished glaze firing the bird jugs and some others that have been shown in the earlier stages on this blog, so I will post some photos of those very soon. <BR/><BR/>All the Best to you, P.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-89170733420870686212009-04-05T00:21:00.000+13:002009-04-05T00:21:00.000+13:00Peter - these look great.

Did you wait for the first part to dry somewhat?<BR/><BR/>Congrats! Blogging is such a good way to learn new tricks. I've learned so much & made new friends since I started blogging. It's a good thing.Judy Shrevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817638135856406785noreply@blogger.com
