Most of my pots need very little clean up after being fired. A quick once over with diamond pad tends to do the trick, with a final polish with some very fine sandpaper. Even though the feet of my pots are burnished to be very smooth at the leather hard stage, once fired, the clay recedes around the coarse, pre-fired particles of grog, revealing them. Sometimes they’re rough enough to cause damage to a tabletop if the vessel is spun or dragged across it, hence the grind all my pots receive as they come out the kiln. The bowl this short video focuses on might be my favourite piece from my last firing. It has a multifaceted exterior with a lustrous black iron oxide interior, yes, this pot was twice fired, due to a mistake of mine whereupon some glaze on the interior was too thin. The metal hides it well and the dark-green done on the outside becomes lovely and molten, with verdant gradients forming on the outer sloping walls. It’s a keeper, for now. #pottery #metallic #reductionfired #tableware #designermaker
