See what happens when a potter throws new light into an ancient art form. Bill and Maggie Finley of Finley Pottery make luminaries – pots full of holes to display light patterns.
'It was at the wheel where it all came together for me. Tableware became an obsession, I loved the functionality of it, that it would be used and loved.'
In this video, Stuart Carey takes us step-by-step through the processes he uses to throw a thin-walled bowl, which he spray-glazes once it is bisque-fired.
Discover how Stuart makes his work in the full step-by-step masterclass inside CR 299 (September/October 2019). You can order current and back issues of the magazine from ceramicreview.com.

On my recent visit to S. Korea I was able to connect with Moon Byeong Sik, a porcelain potter I had met a few years back. This was my first visit to his studio and he was gracious enough to offer me a wheel and some clay and we both threw pots and compared techniques. While neither of us speak too much of each others language, we were able to use the clay as a prop for conversation.
Ten minute version with commentary here:
Vici and Sean Casserley are the second generation of potters to run Taena Pottery. It was started in 1948 by a group of conscientious objectors and survived their dispersal in the 1960s.
Specialising in traditional English slipware, Vici and Sean make and sell their pots from a studio and shop nestled on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment. You can buy ready-made or bespoke pieces.
