This week, I'm revisiting a previous video that showed only the throwing and trimming this small teapot. It's a recreation of a shape I made recently that I really liked and this week we're picking up with this form again, covering the bisque firing, waxing, glazing, the fiddly tidying up the glazed vessel, reduction firing it to cone ten, (1290ºC), and finally unpacking the tiny teapot, grinding its lid and testing to see how well it pours...

Thank you for taking your time to watch! It means a lot.
