Throwing the components for a lidded jar, in fact, you may have seen me trim this vessel a week ago, (you can scroll back in my feed a little bit to see how this pot ends up looking).
I’ve mixed this coarse red stoneware with 50% of my usual, smooth high-iron clay body, this makes it a more pleasant experience to throw with as otherwise it’s almost too gritty to work with on the wheel. There’s also some bronze inclusions in the mix, sprinkled in and wedged thoroughly to properly incorporate them. These should turn into red flecks that cover the surface, like blossom almost, set amongst clay that’ll reduction fire to a crimson tone.
Instead of my convoluted method of measuring the opening here, you can also find callipers that measure both from more sides at the same time, I have a pair that I made myself, but they’re getting rather flimsy at this point almost ten years later and I prefer these cast aluminium ones as they can be fastened extraordinarily tightly. When repetition throwing, I’ll first throw all of the jars with the same opening at the top, and then I’ll adjust my callipers and throw all the lids, this feels the most streamlined for me. Yet, when I’m creating a single, individual jar, these method works well too in a pinch.
