Thomas Aitken mixes things up

We normally know and love Thomas’s work for the flawlessness of it.  His functional pieces are a delight and envy for fellow potters.  His demonstration was a revelation though, as he was loosening things up and using found objects to create texture and with a throwing technique on a board, stretches and makes the textured piece thin enough to be a base of a bowl or platter.  The photos below show the technique that he employs.  No wonder potters like to collect all sorts of junk!
