(Almost all the pots have sold out already — but there's still some merchandise left and a few very special pieces).

In this week's video I'm creating 100 miniature stoneware vases that'll be available as a limited edition run for my YSP, (Yorkshire Sculpture Park), exhibition that has now launched, (the funds raised go into helping run YSP, as it's a charity). Throwing this many on the potter's wheel really tested my repetition making ability and in this film I discuss the throwing gauge used, the trimming, glazing and reduction firing to cone ten, (1290ºC / 2354ºF). Thanks for watching!
