Photo 35: Balls can be made in two ways. Smaller ones are made quickly with rolling cuts.

Balls can also be made with a gouge. Rough out both sides of the ball, as you would do if making a two-necked vase. Holding the gouge’s bezel tightly against the surface of the ball, roll the tool down over the outline of the ball. This action is similar to that used when making a cove, only the outline of the ball is convex instead of concave (Photo 36). Whether I use a skew or a gouge to make a ball depends on the element’s diameter. A small ball is easier to do with a skew. I find that using a gouge to make a large ball results in better control.
