Here's the conclusion to a video I know some of you have been waiting for... In this video, I'm following up the 'crimson pots' experiments. Thrown from red stoneware blended with an iron body and mixed with bronze filings, all topped off with a brand new metallic crimson glaze, that's what this video explores, the entire process from beginning to end. I hope you like it, please let me know what you think of the pots! And as always, thanks for taking your time to watch.
