I hope some of you remember the trimming of this large, stepped bowl, well, this is the conclusion to that video! (You can watch that here in full if you like:    • I Was Always Told to Not Trim the Ins...  ). I show the frankly embarrassing glazing of this vessel, how its waxed, packed into my gas kiln and fired to cone ten, 1290ºC and finally the unpacking process and the sanding of the finished, reduction fired pots... which, I utterly love!

*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.
