Here are a couple of videos showing me throwing a swirl oil bottle. I’m using reclaimed clay here from the Desert Dragon Pottery. Reclaimed clay is made of clay that was already used and discarded - failed pots and leftover clay scraps. There is some processin!g involved to get the clay back to a workable state - it’s a bit of a chore. But with patience, it creats perfectly acceptable. It’s not Quite as easy to throw with as Rods Bod (I find Rods particularly easy to through) and I can’t throw it quite as thin as I do with cone 10 BMix. But really - it works just fine for many things. Thanks to Gary Price for processing all the reclaim at the Desert Dragon Pottery!
Throwing a swirl bottle is a bit tricky, doing so with the reclaim clay was a good test to see if it’s doable with reclaim, and it was. The video is broken up into 2 parts. Beneath the second video are a few pictures of the finished bottle.
