This week I show you how to make a large shallow fruit bowl on the wheel. Shallow bowls are prone to collapsing when making and so I show you some ways of minimizing this when throwing. I also show you how to avoid a "beginners hump", that persistent bump in the inside curve of the bowl that can occur when making bowls on the pottery wheel.

The YELLOW RIB featured in nearly every video has been with me for years and I use it for shaping, refining & compressing. I would never want to be without. It's hard to loose... and it just carries on. Along with my wheel - this is with me for the long haul!
