The pots have been left to go leather hard, this is when the clay has on about 15% of the water left in it, by leaving it covered in a plastic bag for a week, then the process of turning can begin.
Both pots have been turned so they have a foot ring, once the glaze is applied to the rest of the pot, the foot ring is left without so the pot will not stick to the kiln shelf.
These will now be left to air dry, until the bone dry state has been reach 0% water left in the clay. Once this stage has been reached they will be fired in the kiln.
Today's pot thrown, there is a marked colour difference in the clay from the above pots, this is fresh clay.
