So we're going to make a salsa dish which is going to be one large kind of flat bowl with larger bowls. And then a set of little bowls inside to put guacamole, stuff like that in. So it's going to be one bowl with three small bowls inside. And you want to start off with a good wedge here. See I've got it going. Folding in on itself. And then folding in on itself. Really important that you give your clay a good wedge. And this is how I like to approach these type of things. If I'm going to make a salsa bowl that consists of three different objects? I'm going to have, one bowl come off, I'm going to throw it off the hump then one bowl's going to come off of here, the other bowl's going to come off, the other bowl's going to come off then the rest of the clay that's left I'm going to make that final bowl with. So if you think about it ahead of time like that you're going to be a lot more productive. So now we're ready to get our tools together and get on the wheel.
