I throw mini pots to test new glazes and glaze combos and it’s great to fit in between large pieces of pottery in the kiln. They sell really well.

Having a plan for a bunch of glaze testing I thought I would make up a whole S-load of little pots like this instead of using test tiles. What I found is that it was very hard to duplicate shapes. Slight differences in the amount of clay that you pull up off the hump makes a big difference in small pots. But for glaze testing I guess they don't have to be quite the same.

Thanks for sharing the video. I like hearing the details and the tricks to help along the way. It’s the details that make the work look good. So thanks so much for tirelessly showing us the details.

I use a metal rib for cutting off the hump. I wet the one side of the rib that im cutting with. then push in at the same undercut joint as in your video. once the rib cuts half way through it will be sitting on the rib. it makes for transferring the pot to another board easy. Just another thing to try if your intrested:)

I had actually tried this last week but with a thicker cord type string. That didn't work well. I'm going to give fishing line a shot, that looks to work perfectly in your video.

Thank you for sharing this tip, Matthew! I look forward to seeing your approach to lidded minis as well. I woodfired minis and was quite pleased with the results!😊

I did this for Christmas presents one year. I didn't know about the fishline trick though, and had to sand some pots afterwards. Thanks.

Thanks for always producing awesome, informative videos. One question is if you throw off the hump, you can't compress the bottom. Does that lead to s cracks?
