Making Two Angular Vases from Start to Finish — ASMR Edition

This video is the conclusion of one I've already shown some of the process for. I'm doing a few more new clay tests from the bodies Potclays kindly sent to me. I'm blending the more textured stonewares down with my usual clay and incorporating a few big pinches of iron spangles, made from hammering iron, which should create some rather dramatic speckles on the surfaces of the vases. I'll show you how I mix and wedge the clays, incorporate the iron and then I'll demonstrate how I throw and trim these two vases, bisque fire them, glaze them and finally how they're reduction fired to 1290ºC.

Thanks for watching!

Here's two links to the clays I'm using:

"How do you relax at night?"
"Pot."
"Isn't it illegal in your area?"
"Nah, this one is fine."

This is really making me want to take up pottery. You've gained a new subscriber. You are extremely talented and elegant on your wheel. I've shared this with many of my friends and family as well.

Just being curious, why do you put a mirror in front of you when you throw the vase? Is it for checking your posture?
