Making Plates with Mouldy Clay

Video Description

Do you remember those mouldy plates I trimmed earlier this year? Well, here's the conclusion to that film. This time, I show the throwing, trimming, bisque firing, glazing, reduction firing and the final sanding! I even have a small treat off one, like anyone needs to be shown how to use a plate, right? It was for my own enjoyment really.

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. ____ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/floriangadsby/ TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@floriangadsby Website – http://www.floriangadsby.com
