Making 100 Espresso Cups

This video tells the tale of the throwing, trimming and handling of these simple, stoneware espresso cups. I discuss how I manage working on 100+ pieces at a single time, and how important proper drying is. I hope you like it and apologies for the jump-scare about halfway through...
