Thrown Feet

Here's the image I couldn't get to work earlier. A couple of 16 inch dishes with thrown feet. The one on the right has a pretty tall foot, more like a pedestal type bowl. I'll get some pics of these right side up after I get them slipped.I like throwing the footring on these bigger dishes. I am able to use most of the clay I put on the wheel to make the actual pot without worrying about leaving enough for the footring. There is some cutting away of excess clay before I add a thick coil and throw it into shape. With this method I have many options for the finished foot.
