hey I was wondering is that the best way to do pots in that version ( like having the clay very high and working with the plates on top) or is it better to do it all the way in the bottom?
great hump throwing, thanks for posting Adam! two questions for you...
1.) how does he avoid "s" cracks with the hump throwing? I've found that even with stoneware, trimming, and drying them for about 5 days, anywhere from 10-25% of my pots still crack. I can't imagine how much this would increase if I started using porcelain.
1. Not sure what he's doing to keep the "s" cracking to a minimum, but I asked him yesterday and he said he gets about 5-7% cracked.
2. He cuts the pots off with a home made tool, a hacksaw blade that is cut at an angle, kind of looks like a smaller version of a standard wooden knife pottery tool.
thanks Adam! i'm guessing the last move to compress the foot before cutting off is also pretty important (0:40 - 0:43).
My professor, Samuel Johnson, taught me to use a combination of coning up and down, and handmade "Hera" tools to reduce cracking. He gets about 2% cracking with a fine particle wood-fire body, I just can't do it that perfectly...yet!
i was just about to ask the same about the glaze, thats very cool, hes got nice delicate technique, and yeah adam they look pretty thin, im sure they look beautiful when held up to the light
Very interesting. What came next for those pots? I assume he trimmed the bases. And were they glazed, or was that just the natural clay? Thanks for sharing!
They will be trimmed and handles will be added to the mugs. A pale blue (almost white) translucent glaze is applied to the bisque pots and they are reduction fired in a gas kiln to cone 8. The finished pots are very translucent.

@acidfriend47 this is a great way to make smaller pieces, much quicker and easier to prepare one large piece of clay then to prepare many small ones
