Used Black Mountain clay for the first time in my memory. Wanted the contrast with white family glaze. I had thrown a simple bowl to hold my test tiles (balls). Had planned 8 balls, but ran out of class time. Found that my hand was big for the ball shape, could have done it on hump, but was trying to regulate my shape, so keep the amount of clay the same by measuring prior....the hump might have given me too much flexibility, giving my balls too much freedom to come out same ballpark shape. I think there is pun potential there, but enough close calls. :)
