A great project to do on a wheel is a queso warmer. Now if you make this out of stoneware this should be microwave safe and you can make queso which is cheese and salsa mixed together. Pretty standard here on the south. In the microwave get it nice and warm and then in the base you put a couple of tea lights and you put that on there and it keeps it warm throughout your entertaining. So the cheese does not get hard and you can continue scooping it. You have to have cut outs in the base that allows airflows where the candles could burn the entire time. They would go out if you don't have enough airflow down here. Now for this particular project, for this size I'm using a 1 3/4 for both pieces for each piece. So I would take my wire tool, cut a chunk of clay. Measure it, in a little more. Here is a 1 3/4. And ball that up really well and then do the same thing again. Now we are ready to throw these on the wheel.
