13. Wavy Pedestal Bowl
What This Idea Means
An elevated fruit bowl or centerpiece bowl featuring a wavy, ruffled edge set atop a sturdy cylindrical pedestal foot.
How to Make It
- Slab-build or pinch a wide, open bowl form.
- While soft, gently manipulate the rim using your fingers to create elegant, flowing wave curves.
- Slab-build a thick hollow cylinder or cone to act as the pedestal base.
- Join the pedestal base centrally to the bottom of the bowl using score-and-slip techniques.
Tips and Variations
- Tip: Support the undulating curves of the rim with foam wedges until dry.
- Variation: Add contrasting colors between the inner bowl surface and the outer pedestal foot.
