Using Iron Oxide to Salvage Bad Pots

This video is all about how I save poorly fired pots with layers of black, red and yellow ochre iron oxide. I use it like slip, brushing it over already fired vessels that didn't meet my expectations, then they're reduction fired again to 1290ºC. I show you the before and after, together will discussing various tips and tricks I've learnt through practicing this process.

Thanks for watching!
