Throwing a Moon Jar... in one piece or two?

I am on a moon jar journey at the moment. I've been looking at traditional ways of making on the pottery wheel and then working out how I can make my own moon jars. So in this video I show you my way of making a moonjar, taking you through the whole process. Then I show you how I glaze my moonjars.

Key takeaways: Exploring form, joining parts, glazing technique, explore cultural influence

The GIFFEN GRIP has been an invaluable tool when it comes to saving time and mounting multiple pieces for trimming and glazing. Get yours using the link:

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:
