Here's my ASMR version of my latest video, that shows how these tiny cups are made. If you'd rather watch the fully narrated edition, that goes into FAR more detail about each step, you can find it here: • Making 100 Miniature Mugs
In this weeks video I'm creating 100 miniature mugs, espresso cups, (a little on the large side), that were made as gifts to be sent out with my book to certain people. I cover the throwing, trimming, attaching and pulling the stoneware handles, how I dry them effectively so cracks don't form, the bisque firing, waxing, glazing, reduction firing to cone ten, (1290ºC) and finally how I sand their bases once unpacked from my Rohde gas kiln. There's a lot of steps in this video! Thanks so much for taking your precious time to watch!
