Making a Three-bowl Chip 'n' Dip

摘要

As potters, we seldom hear the words 'magic' or 'illusion'- something that fools the eye-to describe the work we do. But this project has a bit of that in it, or so I've been told by students. And magic is cool. The word alone gets students' attention and keeps them really focused on what you're doing- until you give it away! But that's teaching... "This is how I do it. Let's see what magic you can come up with." A chip 'n' dip server is one of the most useful pieces of pottery we can make. Every household I've ever been in has at least one of them: big bowls and little bowls. How we put the two together can make the finished piece interesting and salable, or boring and typical.
