Making Interesting Cup Shapes by Combining Bisque-Molded and Wheel-Thrown Parts Deborah Schwartzkopf

In this clip, Deb Schwartzkopf demonstrates how she makes the super cool bottoms of her cup forms with a slab and a bisque fired mold. She then skillfully attaches the base to a bottomless wheel-thrown cylinder, which she then darts and alters to make the shape just right. Voilà! Not your typical cylindrical cup form.
