What Do You Do With 4lbs?

Like most of us, I work in series. I wedge'em up and line'em up and throw as many as I can effectively shepherd through the process while managing the drying. Lots of fun in a 104 degree studio.
While it's this hot, lots of small work simply dries too fast even with a wet box to slow the drying down and the studio has gotten a bit full of biggins over the past 2 weeks.
So it's time to think in 4 pound lumps...
What do you do with 4 pounds?

this picture is so cool! I love it. I'm a crappy thrower, so I don't do much with 4 lbs 'cept wonder why I don't throw more! I know; I make wacky mermaid sculptures with 4 lbs!

Hum, 4#. I make pasta bowls, luncheon plates, oval vases,and that would probably be a nice size for a pitcher too.

hey joel, i dig the stitched picture and the shapes are all nice. i think i have that in common as i wedge up the same size pieces of clay but keep changing the shape a bit as i go. yummy variations.
