The Process

The Process

Making pottery pieces (referred to as "pots") is a long process.  There are several stages and along the way at any stage something could go wrong and the pot is ruined.  Below is an outline of the stages for making a pot.

The Clay

Each pot starts with a block of wet clay. I mostly use a Stoneware from Planesman - M 340 which fires at Cone 6 - 2200 °F).  There are two bags per box and I can get around 14 pieces per bag)

First stage

There are three ways to create pottery pieces:

  •  on the wheel
  • hand building
  • pouring slip and casting in molds.  

I focus on the wheel and hand building.
