Throwing platters, plates, backdrops? I'm not sure what these are, but all is explained in the video. This time, I'm throwing, trimming, waxing, glazing and reduction firing a very satisfying shape. I discuss PPE in the form of respiratory masks and goggles - and show you what I use - and finally show a few examples of the fired vessels in-situ at YSP.

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.
