A Pot that Can Water the Garden? I Had to Make One. Throwing an Olla

In this video I make an Olla that will water the garden. It's a low fired vessel that allows water to seep from the olla into the surrounding soil. I made mine tall to fit in smaller raised beds but they can be various shapes. I show you the whole process including throwing on the wheel, trimming and making a lid to fit. Once fired I bury the olla.

The THROWING STICK is really a handy tool for bellowing out tall forms

My WOODEN TRIMMING TOOL creates softer edges for trimming. Get your set here:

The YELLOW RIB featured in nearly every video has been with me for years and I use it for shaping, refining & compressing. I would never want to be without. It's hard to loose... and it just carries on. Along with my wheel - this is with me for the long haul! I would strongly recommend it here:
