6 inch Cylinder

Personal Comment: This was our first assignment on the wheel, the instructions were to make a 6 inch cylinder. I started with a wedged ball of clay then on the wheel I centered it, then raised the clay into the cylinder shape. Then once it was fired I used a copper glaze and dripped fridge white glaze in the middle. It didn't work quite work out as I hoped but I got more or less the general shape right. Next time I need to use more water on the clay when I am shaping it so that it turns out even on all sides.
