Hell yeah!
I created an imgur gallery to track my own. I'm keeping 1/5 to trim each time because I love trimming so it's an incentive.
In your case, instead of a challenge to make 200 cylinders - that you yourself reckon is masochistic - why not make 200 pots for some community that could use them? Something like that, with a purpose. I bet it would be more rewarding and you'd get the practice with a sense of purpose to boot.
There are many more steps from throwing a cylinder to creating a piece that can be used. And these steps have separate skills, need access to specialized equipment, is expensive, etc
One of the reasons to do this over and over again is to cut the cylinder to see the cross section. This will let you see what is off on your technique, and see how you are progressing.
The clay can also be recycled, it's only wasting a small amount of material that doesn't make it back into the reclaim pile.
This is wild af. I imagine it's deeply unhappy people who fulfill their need to feel powerful by calling bylaw on each other.
How beautiful!
I would like to get more of these - I had one swamp milkweed but it didn't reseed or come back the next year. One of the sites I work at has tonnes of milkweed in the back 40. Going to thief me some pods...
CHAMP-E-ON
Something to aspire to
Thanks!
While not 200, I'm trying to throw at least 5 1 lb cylinders a week before my next wheel class. It's a step up from beginner, so you're expected to throw cylinders consistently. I'm trying to avoid embarrassing myself lol.
I've been keeping photos of my cylinders after bisecting them - I'm sure it will be interesting to watch the progression!
Landleach tears are delicious.
Yes. That is the joke. Also the facts of the matter.
I love seeing all the photos! Don't let anyone tell you your babies aren't beautiful and worth documenting!
What did you do to grimace you monster

It's a heuchera, but it's been a few years and I don't recall the variety.
