How to Make a Pottery Teapot from Start to Finish

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This film shows how my stoneware straight sided, stepped teapots are made from beginning to end. It includes every little single step along the way and is a long video, my longest yet in fact, so do let me know if you manage to watch it all the way through to the end and least I forget, Happy New Year!

47:09 - Using valve grinding paste to smooth the join

48:52 - The finished teapot
My wadding recipe is: 50% china clay/kaolin, 50% coarse alumina hydrate. Mix together slowly and then combine with water very slowly, as it seems to turn to a liquid very easily, so add less than you think.
The gas kiln is a Rohde KG-340, my potter's wheel is a Rohde HMT 500 and my electric kiln is a Rohde TE-200.

Maybe you can do a side-by-side comparison of throwing the same(ish) form in both types of clay and talk about the differences.
