The sink

With clay and ceramics you can really make anything, even destined for the bathroom or the toilet…

Throwing a sink is quite a challenge, because you have to be able to throw several kilos of clay to get to a certain size …

But it is all the more special when you can be proud of your own accomplishment every time you wash your hands. Actually, a sink is simply very big bowl, but it is important to provide a hole at the bottom for a stopper.

You have to measure that hole particularly well, taking into account the shrinkage of the clay. To measure is to know… Inspiration below for your own self-thrown sink!
