I hope you're ready to witness what might be my worst throwing ever, with anew, unruly clay, that felt almost unworkable at times. There's a deeply embarrassing moment included in this video, but I'm sure it's something we can all relate to and I do eventually throw and trim a porcelain jar that I was happy with, despite the journey being an unpleasant one.

*It's worth noting! That you won't get the same results as I do if you're firing in oxidation. The reduction firing really helps with this process.

*I throw using both a Rohde HMT 500 & 600 potter's wheel and fire using Rohde kilns too, the electric is a TE-200 and the gas kiln is a KG-340.
