My pottery wheel setup in the topic of this video. I'll be chatting about the tools I use, the why's and how's, and just general, good throwing practice and ways of keeping a ceramics studio clean, tidy and dust free! Thanks for watching — and as always, let me know what you think in the comments.

*It's worth noting! That you won't get the same results as I do if you're firing in oxidation. The reduction firing really helps with this process.

*I throw using both a Rohde HMT 500 & 600 potter's wheel and fire using Rohde kilns too, the electric is a TE-200 and the gas kiln is a KG-340.
