Overview
Experience the soothing process of creating porcelain jars on a potter's wheel in this 29-minute ASMR video. Follow along as the artist trims the jar, prepares for bisque firing, waxes the bases, applies glaze to both exterior and interior surfaces, and fires the kiln in a reduction atmosphere. Observe the meticulous packing and unpacking of the kiln, and witness the transformation of raw clay into a beautifully finished porcelain jar. For those seeking a more detailed explanation of each step, a version with voice-over is available separately.
