Hi Simon,

As this is to hold liquid, do you glaze the inside, or is the clay fried so it os not porous?

Thanks.

Hi -

glazed on the inside yes ! ...but this is vitrified 1300 C , so its pretty much impervious anyway . I answer this from UK , now 5 am !!! ,drinking a tea & listening to the dawn chorus of birds in the garden...another day in begins ! Regards SL

Simon, How much clay do you actually move when you make a pull? I think I try to get my height with to few pulls then my walls are thin and it falls apart. Any suggestions??

Thanks, Debbie in Florida, USA

Hi D - how much to pull ? well I reckon to pull up in 3-4 pulls approx.I think thats much the same even if it s a smaller piece.You may notice when I start a pull I press in from the outside with my fingers to create a step in the wall,this assists me in the lift -try it ! SL

[BlueStrikeP]

You made it yourself? you think that I could get those plans too? YOU ROCK!

[smcyrone]

great video, I'm still working on being able to pull the clay up with the ease that you do, i struggle a fair bit getting such nice height. love the videos, a great instructional tool and inspiring for a young and learning potter. keep it up!

[Marihani]

When you needle the top edge to make it even, don't you find you get little kernels of clay around the edge of it that can be a bit of a pain to get rid of again?

I would appreciate a couple of pictures of that pointy tool you use to trim the base, etc. Hubby has promised to make a copy for me.

[pensandcalls]

Yet another fine video! I like that piece a lot. How much clay did you use????

[sleachpots]

Hi & thanks

The wine flagon was 1.5 kg in weight

Stay tuned
