I love to wheel throw big bowls but it's not easy. It takes a lot of clay which is not so easy to center and a wide bowl is a risky shape to make.

I admit that at first I failed, as you will see in the video. And I will explain why. But I tried one more time and in the end I succeeded in making the biggest bowl I have ever made 57 cm wide!

UPDATE:
See how I trimmed this large bowl here:    • 158. Trimming Big Bowl with a Hacksaw...
