Today’s small throwing session wasn’t about production—it was about calibration.

I’m shifting my studio from a blended cone 6 claybody to a true cone 10 workflow, and while my reclaimed cone 6 clay is resting and rehydrating, I’m using this new cone 10 body to dial in my form and technique.
Cone 10 clay moves differently. It stretches slower, it rewards compression, and it asks for a little more intention in the lift. So I threw a few 2‑lb bowls today just to feel out the material—how it centers, how it pulls, how the walls want to rise.
These bowls aren’t “test pieces.” They’re data.
Every pull tells me something about this clay.
Every curve helps me refine my Quiet Curve form language.
Every spiral in the base is another step toward consistency.
While my reclaimed cone 6 clay gets ready for the wheel, this cone 10 cycle is helping me sharpen my technique, tighten my proportions, and build the muscle memory I’ll need for the next chapter of my work.
Small session. Big progress.
