Скачать или смотреть How I Finish the Bases of my Pottery — Post Firing

This week, I'm running you through the processes I use for tidying up my pottery after they've been reduction fired. This includes polishing clean their bases and grinding lids in-situ with carborundum paste. I also remove 'waddings' and using grinding discs. Links to most things mentioned can be found below.

I know each potter tends to have different ways of grinding the bottoms of their pots, so if you've got any other ideas, techniques or interesting methods please do share in the comments!

Wadding recipe: 50% china clay, 50% coarse alumina hydrate, mix powders and then add water very slowly as the mixture tends to turn too watery very easily. So better to take it slow. Once it has a clay like consistency you can wedge it up and store it in an air tight container.
