Overview
Experience an ASMR-style pottery tutorial on creating sculptural, stepped vessels. Learn the process of throwing and trimming unique forms from a single block of clay, avoiding the need for separate components. Follow along as the potter weighs, wedges, throws, and trims the clay, creating intricate stepped shapes. Observe the detailed trimming process for both the exterior and interior of the pots, and watch as the finished pieces are stamped with a maker's mark. Discover four distinct stepped vessel designs while enjoying the ambient sounds of the pottery workshop, including some background jazz from neighboring musicians.
