The Best Pouring Teapot I've Ever Made!

Video Description

This week, I'm revisiting a previous video that showed only the throwing and trimming this small teapot. It's a recreation of a shape I made recently that I really liked and this week we're picking up with this form again, covering the bisque firing, waxing, glazing, the fiddly tidying up the glazed vessel, reduction firing it to cone ten, (1290ºC), and finally unpacking the tiny teapot, grinding its lid and testing to see how well it pours... Thank you for taking your time to watch! It means a lot. 🖌 • How to attach pots to the wheel via slip: https://youtu.be/mfTZU3lQsLY 🏺 • You may also be interested in my 'A Beginner's Guide' series, which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2WJhtTF0eGhQwf8g2LHcom_KrvJpH_JT 📖 • ORDER MY BOOK: https://geni.us/bymyhands Timecodes: 0:00 - Introduction 1:03 - Throwing the components for the teapot 2:36 - How I 'invert' my callipers for one off pots like this 3:10 - Throwing the teapot's lid 4:02 - Throwing the teapot's spout 'off the hump' 5:37 - Trimming the body & lid 10:55 - Attaching the spout 15:07 - Handling the teapot 18:52 - Carving the handles & quality control 19:17 - Bisque firing the teapot to 1000ºC 19:49 - Waxing the teapot 20:50 - Glazing the teapot 21:25 - Cleaning up the glazed surfaces & holes 23:40 - Wadding the lid 24:28 - Packing the gas kiln & reduction firing to cone ten, (1290ºC) 26:17 - Unpacking the kiln, removing & grinding the lid 27:57 - The finished teapot 28:47 - THE POUR TEST 30:00 - Clean up • Find out much more via the link below! https://linktr.ee/floriangadsby • Get in touch here: https://www.floriangadsby.com/contact Sign up to my newsletter here: https://www.floriangadsby.com/newsletter
