Adam Field - How To Make a Lidded Jar with Carved Pattern
The Ceramic School
Hello, I'm Adam Field. In this workshop, I'll demonstrate throwing a medium-covered jar in porcelain. After the jar reaches the leather-hard stage, I'll exhibit some trimming techniques. Then, I'll outline a carving pattern and share my methods for carving onto thrown pots.
I'll demonstrate the process of throwing, trimming, assembling, mapping out decoration, and carving a medium-covered jar with an intricate geometric pattern.
After this workshop, you could be making amazing work like this:
