74. How to Make a Table Lamp on the Potters Wheel

In this video I will show you how to make a table lamp on the potters wheel - all the way from picking the right clay, throwing the lamp base, trimming it and glazing it (in this case in a raku kiln - but you can also use regular glaze, pitfire or whatever you like). And then finally how to mount the electric fittings, picking the right shade and how to attach that. There are off course many ways to make a ceramic table lamp. This is just one way that I found works really well for me. Visit my Webshop at: www.demib.com Please subscribe to this YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@deMibPottery...
