Testing 8 New Stoneware Clays - From Throwing to Glazing

Experience an ASMR-style pottery demonstration testing eight new stoneware clay bodies from Potclays. Follow the complete process from throwing and trimming to glazing and reduction firing as the search for a complementary clay to pair with the standard red-pink body unfolds. Observe each step in detail, including bisque firing, waxing feet, packing the gas kiln, and the exciting kiln opening. Compare the finished bowls and discover unexpected results from the firing process. For those interested in a fully narrated version with in-depth discussion on the stonewares and techniques, a link to the original video is provided.
