The white stuff is a slip. The glaze is put on when the vase is dry. I do what is called " once firing". All my work is fired to cone 10 in a 250 cubic ft soda kiln. The kiln runs on natural gas. I make about 160 pots a year that range in size from 4 to 7 ft tall. I have recently switched to using a porcelain body that has grog. Sometime over the next month I am going to film me making a 7ft fat vase. In this video I am listening to Patton Oswalt.
@jmpots This was a great video. I just started on the wheel recently and I'm only making cylinders currently. I was wondering, what does the torch do? I was guessing it was just like a "pre-fire". Also, how long have you been throwing on a wheel, or been doing some sort of ceramics class.
@VoluptuousB He torches the clay to harden the clay so it is strong enough to support the weight of the piece he's putting on top of it. If it's too soft it will start to collapse when there's too much weight and make the piece off-center.
Wow, I am very impressed!!! Congratulations. Question: why do you "burn" the pieces with that torch? It is so you can add the other pieces soon after and the piece won´t colapse? I have never seen it done!!! How long did it take to finish the whole piece? Thank you for your info!!!
well, i was wondering about some slightly in depth things! like frames per second while you were recording (because it's so sped up), and the sound.. did you literally just video as normal and then use some software to speed it up, or did you use something in your camera? if you did use software for it, what software was it?!
Joe! This is unbelievable.... Jill and I had so much fun watching it this weekend. Please post more of these- and put them to the music you are listening to. Do you have a picture of this final vessel somewhere? We were left hanging....

How many pounds of clay did you use?
What is the average time it takes you to throw a pot so large?
What made you want to pursue throwing on such a large scale?
