Piercing a pottery clay bowl pierced potters wheel throwing

[edwinlee95]

@time2flyaway for large thrown pieces what people will do is throw a very large object up to about three feet and let it firm up and then take another thrown object of the same density and attach it on top. With decent work the lines of attachment get cover and you are able to then throw this massive piece. I saw my ceramics teacher make a four foot case like that

Love your work. After watching some of your larger pieces, got me to thinking. I saw a 5 1/2 foot vase in a shop and it had marks like it had been thrown. Surely this isn't possible, is it?

You make it look soooo easy...

question: what did you glaze this particular piece with?  and for piercings that are a bit more intricate, does the glaze interfere at all with the openings?

Hi,we glaze things like this with all of our glazes.Sometimes the glaze may make the pierced holes a bit less sharp if it's too thick but generally it's fine.

Thanks.

This is beautiful! You have such a steady hand, you've inspired me draw some new patterns and try this technique.

JUST LOVELY!! Questions, questions! What is your tool? How long has the pot been drying before you start that? It looks very soft but it sure held up. Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

Hi,the pot wasn't really dry enough,It should have been left over night until it was as hard as Cheddar Cheese (might not mean much to you,sorry it's a British thing ).

The tool is just a Hack Saw blade sharpened to a fine point on a grinding wheel.

This is a pretty rubbish demo as I was just rushing to get any old stuff onto Youtube.

I'll try to post some of my pierced bowls soon which are much more impressive than this thing.

Cheers.
