Throwing 100 Miniature Vases — ASMR Edition

Here's this weeks ASMR version of my latest video. If you'd prefer to watch the fully narrated edition, that goes into far more detail about each step, you can find it here:    • Making 100 Miniature Vases For Yorksh...  

This time, I'm creating 100 miniature stoneware vases that'll be available as a limited edition run for my YSP, (Yorkshire Sculpture Park), exhibition that has now launched, (the funds raised go into helping run YSP, as it's a charity). Throwing this many on the potter's wheel really tested my repetition making ability and in this film I discuss the throwing gauge used, the trimming, glazing and reduction firing to cone ten, (1290ºC / 2354ºF). Thanks for watching!
