Throwing on the Wheel & Vase Named

Interested in seeing a potter in action, creating a vase on the wheel? In this video I spin the clay around, kind of like a record, and create a beautiful vase for a raku firing. You can see the finished vase if you scroll down a little!

Working on the pottery wheel.

I recently fired this piece that I threw in the video and here are some photos of the finished raku pottery vase:

And speaking of vases, you might remember my ‘Name that Vase’ post a short time ago, where I asked people to suggest a name and include a story for this vase below:

You can now read the story and find out the name that I have chosen for this vase here!

A special thank you to Marcia(and Missy & Rocky from Big Food, Big Garden, Big Life for writing a story that I could not help but absolutely love, and to all of the wonderful name suggestions, poems, writing and stories, which you can read here.

What do you think of the vase that I threw on the wheel? And are there any things you would be interested in seeing me make on the pottery wheel?
