Learn how to salvage and transform a pottery piece that was thrown on a challenging day into a successful finished work. Follow the complete process of creating an angular vase from thick-walled beginnings through extensive trimming, biscuit firing, waxing, glazing with white feldspathic crackle glaze, and final reduction firing to cone ten at 1290°C. Discover techniques for centering larger amounts of clay, throwing angular forms, detailed trimming methods for both the body and base, kiln packing strategies, proper waxing application, and glazing procedures. Explore the challenges of scaling up ceramic work and how glaze characteristics change with size, while observing the transformation of a problematic throwing session into a refined minimal ceramic piece through careful finishing techniques.
