The set I made is used for chips and salsa. The purpose of multiple bowls of different sizes is so different chips and salsas could be used, the two bigger ones would be for chips and the smaller two for salsa. I came up with my idea by seeing a set of plastic molds that were the same shape, and different sizes and thought it would be cool to make one of each mold. To make my pieces I would start out by spraying the molds with cooking spray to prep them for the clay. I would then wedge the clay I was using until I had gotten a fairly flat piece of clay, and would then flatten it out on the slab roller. In order to fit it into the mold I would slowly press the clay into the mold until it was resting perfectly inside of the mold, and then would trim off the edges of the excess clay. For the design of the bowls Abby would cut small insertions in the rims of the bowls and make a pattern on the bottom of them with an exacto knife, the finishing touch to the bowls was an application of clear glaze.
