Revisiting Porcelain - Throwing and Trimming Jars

This weeks pottery video is a more in-depth look into using porcelain for the first time in six years. It has definitely been a struggle at times but I've enjoyed every second of using the stuff. There might be quite a few videos in the future of myself working with porcelain in one way shape or form. Thanks for watching!
