Mother's Day gift 911!
Slumped a bowl and it came out with one side higher than the other. Can I make it flat again and try to re-slump? If so, what schedule would I use to flatten it? 96 glass, blank was 10" diameter. Thanks for helping...clock ticking away so fast

So sorry about your bowl.
I have had rounds do that same thing and have never got them to flatten back out evenly at all.
not perfectly round and wrinkles, buckles.
Given your short window of time, my thought, without seeing the design, is set it on a floral former to create a draped vase.
Use that off center bottom to your advantage, and one side of the vase will be shorter than the "back" of the vase.
Just a quick suggestion. Maybe you have thought of better.

Thanks for your response, Joyce. Glad to know I probably couldn't get it flat again. That will save me a lot of frustration. Floral former is a great suggestion!
