Thrown Bacon Cooker
Learn how to make your own wheel thrown bacon cooker in this step-by-step ClayShare class. In this class you will learn how to throw a double walled form, to make and attached a handle and to pull a spout. You will also learn how to use dip and pour glazes to create a crisscross pattern.
Although this is an intermediate level class, I encourage beginner students to challenge themselves and give it a try. This class is a great refresher for more advanced students and even hand-builders will find the glazing section very informative.
