Is This The Worst Clay I've Ever Thrown With?

I hope you're ready to witness what might be my worst throwing ever, with anew, unruly clay, that felt almost unworkable at times. There's a deeply embarrassing moment included in this video, but I'm sure it's something we can all relate to and I do eventually throw and trim a porcelain jar that I was happy with, despite the journey being an unpleasant one. ⭕️ • My centring clay guide: https://youtu.be/-YCGK33c0xs 🗡• Jaejun Lee's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaejunlee_ceramics/ ⚙️ • Spinner tool, made by Richard Carter, (you need to DM him on Instagram to purchase one): https://www.instagram.com/richardcarter6952/ 📖 • PRE-ORDER MY BOOK: http://ow.ly/9wYn50MQXV5 📢 • Find out much more about my work here: https://linktr.ee/floriangadsby 🏺 • If you want to learn how to throw a pot, you might like my 'A Beginner's Guide' series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2WJhtTF0eGhQwf8g2LHcom_KrvJpH_JT ⏱ • Timecodes: 0:00 - Introduction 0:20 - New Porcelain 2:05 - Throwing the jar body and lid 5:20 - Setting my callipers 6:35 - FAILURE MONTAGE 7:19 - Trimming the thrown components 13:30 - Trimming the base 14:04 - The finished, angular jar *It's worth noting! That you won't get the same results as I do if you're firing in oxidation. The reduction firing really helps with this process. *I throw using both a Rohde HMT 500 & 600 potter's wheel and fire using Rohde kilns too, the electric is a TE-200 and the gas kiln is a KG-340. ____ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/floriangadsby/ TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@floriangadsby Website – http://www.floriangadsby.com
