5 Things I Pay More Attention to Now When Making Pottery

This week, I'm discussing 5 tips, tricks and approaches to the craft of making pottery that I think are usual things to see or hear for intermediate makers. These are all nuggets of information that I gleaned from my teachers during my apprenticeships and during my time training on the DCCoI Ceramics Skills & Design training course.

They aren't significant bits of advance but rather, things I look out for to make sure I'm making pots that are to my liking, or they're words that hopefully help you to see the craft, or a particular idea, from a new point of view.

Otherwise, it's been an incredibly hectic two-weeks glazing relentlessly, thus my usual programme of making videos is a little out of whack. I find moments to film clips but it's always impossible to set aside time to create more detailed and thorough tutorials, thus shorter films like this become easier to produce.

Thanks so much for taking your time to watch!
