485: Bryan Hopkins on low-fire porcelain

Written By Ben Carter

Today on the show I talk with Bryan Hopkins. You probably know him from his exquisite porcelain vessels, but you might not have guessed some of those forms are made from low fire porcelain. In our interview we talk about formulating low-fire translucent porcelains and how he uses a neodymium grate magnet to create speck free clay bodies. To see examples of his work visit www.hopkinspottery.com. To listen to this episode click here.
