i'm interested in learning more about altering wheel-thrown objects, including
faceting
darts
assembling multiple forms
etc
this stuff doesn't seem to be very intuitive for me...
anyone have any books / videos they'd recommend?
i remember seeing a british book... had a project on building a salt dog by cutting
sections of a cylinder at angles & reassembling... can't remember title. and for the
life of me, can't visualize how to do this.
no surprise... i regularly failed the sections of the standardized tests that wanted
to know what some flat thing looked like after you folded it up.

There are two kinds of darts -- vertical and horizontal. And, they can be
just about any shape.
You want the clay moving toward leather hard but not yet leather hard. To
make a salt dog, you throw a tallish cylinder. About 2/3 up, you cut a
vertical dart out of half of it -- you want both top and bottom of the dart
slightly curved.
The clay must still be flexible enough that the back side can survive the
bend. Slip and score the dart, and I have a personal bias for using paperclay
slip. Make a very thin coil of clay and apply to the outside of the dart, and
smooth, to give the joint strength.

I went to a work shop with Woody Hughes last year and took some phootos of
his dated jug, woul dyou like me to scan and send any I can find? Don't know
if it will help with dogs but it might.
