Creating a Conical Shaped Bowl from a Textured Slab with a Focal Accent

This video was originally made to help my Ceramics II students on their Textured Slab Set with Focal Accent Project. In the video, I demonstrate how to roll and texture a slab, and create a conical shaped bowl from using a template. I used a piece of craft foam from which I cut my feather focal accent, and I used an MKM wooden roller to create my repeated texture in the background. If you would like to see how I made a conical template for this or other conical forms like footrings or cups, please see this video link on making conical templates: I purchased the mylar for the template I made (not acetate like I said in the video) in rolls from Amazon, and made many different types of patterns for my students. You can find a direct link to that product along with the awesome mudtools ribs in the document I have linked below. It has a ton of product links using my Amazon Associates links. (No extra cost to you as a buyer- just helps me out!)
