Throwing Miniature Pottery Lidded Jars

Video Description

This time, I'm throwing the tiny bodies and lids of these miniature lidded jars you may have seen me trim previously, (see the video below to watch that process). These are finicky devils to make, the lids especially, all created with a high iron stoneware body and thrown on my potter's wheel. Watch me struggle making these and let me know what you think! 🔍• Trimming these miniature jars: https://youtu.be/34cxSMhDaUs 🤲🏻• How to lift pots off the wheel: https://youtu.be/05CsVxlULo0 📖 • ORDER MY BOOK: https://geni.us/bymyhands 🏺 • If you want to learn how to throw a pot, you might like my 'A Beginner's Guide' series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2WJhtTF0eGhQwf8g2LHcom_KrvJpH_JT 📢 • Find out much more about my work here: https://linktr.ee/floriangadsby ⏱ • Timecodes: 0:00 - Introduction 0:14 - Weighing and wedging the clay (150 grams for the bodies) 2:25 - Centring small pieces of clay 3:26 - Talking about throwing miniature pots 8:29 - Making the lids 13:35 - Clean up *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. ____ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/floriangadsby/ TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@floriangadsby Website – http://www.floriangadsby.com
