Here’s another throwing video, again using reclaim clay from the Desert Dragon Pottery. They’ve been producing a lot of reclaim this year and I’m happy to use it! They price of clay has gone up (like everything) so using reclaim is a money saver. The feel is a little different, as it is with every new clay. I can’t pull the walls quite as thin as I can with some other clay’s, but it really works pretty great when I want that stoneware look.
This piece is a vase I’m saving for our next wood firing; it has not yet been scheduled but will likely be in the fall or early winter - it’s too hot here to think about now! I think this lump of clay weighed a bit over 4lb’s when I started.
