Making a Large Stepped Lidded Jar — From Start to Finish

In this week's video I'm throwing, trimming, glazing and firing a large, stepped lidded jar — showing the entire process from beginning to end. THANKS for watching and as always, if you have any further questions please do ask. HOW TO REDUCTION FIRE: https://youtu.be/5UJi6u50foI 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.
