David throwing big pots
David Schlapobersky throwing big pots at Bukkenburg Pottery Studio & Gallery, Swellendam
David at work throwing big pots in our studio in Swellendam.
We’ll use these pictures of throwing big pots as a test run on this new blog / news page, and hope that it all works.
David and James in the studio
James is having a great time of it !
Two big stoneware planters, 80 cm tall – thrown and trimmed – on the wheels ready to be moved.
Lifting a big pot off the wheel.
The first of the big pots being lifted off the wheel using our fork-lift trolley yesterday.
The trolley shown in the picture above has changed the way we make and handle our big pots. and they no longer have to be lifted off the wheel manually and hefted around the studio to the kiln. We’ll post more pictures of the trolley in use, and other studio activity as we become more familiar with using this blog page.
There is a video on YouTube showing David throwing a very big wine jar – a link to that video is on our Media page, look for YouTube, click here to watch it:
