This week’s film is an interesting one, or rather, it’s the kind I’m most excited about making. Alex Pole, a blacksmith, (links below), recently sent me two packets of metal scraps, by-products from his craft, to incorporate into my clay to fire and test. There’s hammer scale produced from hammering steel and bronze filings from trimming the material on a lathe. This video shows the entire process, from wedging it into clay, trimming it, glazing the experimental pieces and finally reduction firing them to 1290ºC.
What will they look like?
