I apologise for the utterly horrendous noise at the beginning of this video, but rest assured, stay with me and everything will come together, eventually. If you’ve been following along for a while now, you’ll know exactly what this process is, but for those new readers and watchers, this is how I grind the lids of my jars smooth after being reduction fired to 1290ºC. No matter how much I burnish the clay when it’s leather hard, once fired the clay shrinks and pre-fired particles in the body don’t. This means that what was smooth, becomes rough, and thus lids that did fit nicely, now don’t. So, I use Chemico valve grinding paste to sand away those coarse specks. It can also grind the clay itself away, if the rim or lid have warped in any way. The carborundum suspended in grease is then washed away using very hot, soapy water, and then I can relish in their glassy smoothness. It’s worth knowing that I only ever use this on bare clay. It’s never applied on glaze. Also, a curved jar? I almost can’t believe my eyes. #asmr #oddlysatisfying #ceramics #pottery #handmade
