So now we're going to do a berry bowl. This is a nice little project. This is a very small colander, with a trimmed foot and lots of small holes put into it and it comes with a little plate. That way you can rinse your berries in the sink and then either take them to the table or put them into the refrigerator or keep them in your counter and not worry about anything dripping where you don't want it to. So the bowl itself is a three pound bowl, and we'll start by getting that ready. Cut with the wire tool out of your bag of clay. That's only about two pounds. So there's three pounds. Now we'll take these pieces, you'll want to slap them together in such a way that you're not adding air, doing like that. Wedge it up a little bit, pad it out, and then the plate it one pound. So we also need to get a single pound. Perfect, and I don't need to wedge it really because I didn't add anything to it. So there we've got our two pieces and we're ready to start the project.
