This film shows how my stoneware straight sided, stepped teapots are made from beginning to end. It includes every little single step along the way and is a long video, my longest yet in fact, so do let me know if you manage to watch it all the way through to the end and least I forget, Happy New Year!

00:30 - Wedging clay for teapot bodies
01:18 - Throwing teapot body
07:07 - Preparing clay for lids
08:05 - Reversing measured callipers
08:20 - Throwing lid
10:19 - Throwing spout
12:12 - Unwrapping components from drying overnight
13:56 - Trimming the teapot body and lid

20:29 - Attaching the spout to the teapot body
25:44 - Pulling and attaching the handle
31:34 - Carving the handle and quality control
33:31 - Packing the electric kiln for a bisque firing to 1000ºc
33:44 - Unpacking the electric kiln
35:10 - Waxing the teapot
36:38 - Mixing up glaze
37:10 - Glazing the teapot
38:28 - Cleaning up the glazed lid and body
41:23 - Preparing the waddings for the lid
42:00 - Packing the gas kiln
43:05 - Firing the gas kiln to 1290ºc, (cone ten)
45:18 - Unpacking the gas kiln
45:33 - Sanding the base of the teapot
46:49 - Removing the waddings
47:09 - Using valve grinding paste to smooth the join
47:59 - Making a cup of of tea, (earl grey)
48:52 - The finished teapot 

My wadding recipe is: 50% china clay/kaolin, 50% coarse alumina hydrate. Mix together slowly and then combine with water very slowly, as it seems to turn to a liquid very easily, so add less than you think.

The gas kiln is a Rohde KG-340, my potter's wheel is a Rohde HMT 500 and my electric kiln is a Rohde TE-200.

Thanks for watching!
