    Wadding recipe: 50% China clay and 50% coarse alumina hydrate, mixed slowly with water until it has a clay like consistency, then wedged and stored in an airtight container.

    I might not have mentioned in the past comments that The reason I value your narrated films so much is because I cannot see. I have no vision whatsoever (In that sense of the word!lol).
    I experience ceramic art exclusively through my proprioception and tactile senses. Though I cannot fully imagine the shape/form of your pieces I can definitely relate to the process of creating them. You’ve given me a lot of insight and I am very grateful for that.

    Fantastic film, as ever. I’m always grateful for the narration you provide. I can imagine at times it being a bit tiresome to explain some of the basic terminology as you go. Though I’m sure all who are new to ceramics really appreciate it, and you never know that some of the things that you find commonplace might be totally new to a viewer.
    Take myself for example, I haven’t really been taught about the wadding material you placed in between the jar and lid or about the carbon iron sanding paste you mentioned. Thank you!

      Appreciate all the kind words Ryan. Exactly, many of these videos I try to make so that a new viewer would understand what's going on. I use a paste called 'Chemico' but essentially it's a grease based carbarundom grinding paste. It's a bit of a pain to clean off afterwards but hot soapy water gets rid of it. It makes SUCH a difference and it also grinds away clay, which means if the lid fits a bit too tightly it can be ground to fit perfectly. Thanks for watching!

    Just discovered your channel yesterday and can't resist watching to the end every time. The transformations are fascinating to me!
    The first vid of yours that I came across was a short in which you were adding tiny metal filings into the glaze (bronze and something else?). Was soooo excited to see the end result, but it ended with them going into the kiln. I'll bet you've got at least one vid with the end results? Will keep looking for it.
    Thank you so much for these glimpses into a more interesting existence than my own!!

    This is just amazing. I'm at the start of my pottery journey and had a frustrating class this week, struggling to produce the most basic of (not very tall) cylindrical forms without the walls collapsing or the tops twisting and deforming. It was quite disheartening! But watching this and seeing the level of skill you have (and how easy you make it look) has inspired me to persevere, in the hope that one day I can create something this beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to film and produce such good quality, educational videos - the detail is exceptional and to a level that's just not possible by teachers in a group class. Can't wait to watch more of these!
