Making Tall Pottery Vases from Beginning to End

This week’s video shows the creation of some taller bud vase forms, from start to finish. Made from a high iron stoneware clay and reduction fired with a variety of crackle glazes to 1290ºc over a nine hour period. If you’ve got any further questions about the process please do let me know in the comments below.
