Throwing & Trimming Miniature Pottery

Miniature pots are this week's project. Tiny vessels, jars, bowls and vases, to eventually use in tandem with larger collections of vessels, or as pieces to top the towers of pots I often create and exhibit. This week, I'm taking you through the delicate throwing process and the even more time-consuming and troublesome trimming. It really is difficult, as the pots are essentially trying to end themselves constantly by coming loose and throwing themselves off the wheel-head. Thus, in order to make these, you need to work with extreme care, turning the leather hard clay quickly, carefully and with an extraordinary amount of control. In many ways it's much more difficult to make pots on this scale as compared to pots that are normal sizes, but it's a good test of one's ability and annoyingly, they make WONDERFUL kiln fillers, which I wish they didn't, as it gives me a good reason to sit and throw hundreds of the damned things.
