Hey guys! So in this video I'm going to show you how to make an altered rim chip and dip bowl that I threw on the wheel with a wide base. It's a pretty big size bowl I'd say maybe five or six pounds of clay. So right now I am just making a line from the bottom towards the top in a spiral motion. I'm making the line lightly with the tool before I use my exacto knife to actually cut it. So that's what I'm doing now from the bottom all the way to the top making the line and now I'm going to cut it with the exacto knife. Okay so the clay is a little bit a little bit hard harder than I had wanted it to be so my hands are shaking a little bit with the exacto knife but I'm going slow and I'm just following that line slowly and you can see the spiral pattern sort of from the base of the pot in a slightly graduated elevated line towards the top and it's almost like a triangle like a at the top like it'll taper out that way and I like that because it gives it gives a little flare to the piece so that's what you see me doing here I'm just cutting and there we go. Now I'm gently pulling the rim into the piece very gently and slowly just kind of easing it in to the piece and getting it a little bit set towards where I want it. Now I'm just playing with where I want the bowl part of the chip and dip to be so I'm just kind of like maneuvering the clay you know pushing it in a downward motion as well because I'm going to be attaching it to the bottom so I'm just working on that in this clip. I just marked my line for where I'm going to score the base I kind of just made a little tracing so I'm gonna slip or rather score and then slip both sides the base and the rim and I'm going to attach them and then I'm gonna kind of push it down and give it a little force to attach it. Ah I got a little smooch from my husband. Alright back at it. So in this clip I'm just pushing kind of down and pushing in so I'm merging the two like I'm with quite some force because this clay is a little hard but I'm just kind of using my fingers to merge the two pieces together. So I've pre-rolled the coil and I'm going to attach it to the base and to the rim just joining the two and getting a really good attachment a good seal so I'm just pushing that coil in with my thumb working it around and it was a little bit hard like I said so I spent some extra time just really smoothing and getting a good smooth attachment you know seamless look so it took some time to actually smooth that out. Alright so now that we have that all smoothed out that coil I'm gonna go in and seal that joint with a paintbrush and water it has a little bit of slip on it but right now I'm just using water and a modeling tool to just smooth everything out and make sure it's attached then I am going to add a little extra layer of thick slip around that exterior wall there just in case so that's what I'm gonna do here and get it all smoothed and sealed up. Okay now it's time to work on the rim so I'm putting a good amount of water back on the rim and I'm taking my exacto knife to try to get that pointy like triangle to try to get a better flow there so I've got the knife and I'm just kind of doing that and really smoothing that rim out because I cut it and it wasn't the best cut so I really had to go in and smooth it out and I did spend a lot of time doing that so there I go again and I actually took off a little bit more than I should have in certain places but the cool thing about clay is you can add it back in like I did right there so I just added a little bit more soft mushy clay back into like a little divot where I take in too much out so that's pretty much it this is the finished raw piece I'm going to fire it very soon this week and then glaze it and then I'll show you guys the actually finished glazed results I can't wait these are so cool too with glaze like drippy glazed combos they just look amazing on this shape in this form I've made them before so I really can't wait to show you with a really cool glaze combo but anyway thank you for watching and I hope you found this video helpful talk to you soon bye
