Burnishing Bowls

Part of the process to making the vessels for my project is burnishing. Burnishing is where the platelets of the raw clay are compressed using a tool to create a reflective surface.

I find the process while time and energy intensive is also very therapeutic; the repetitive nature of the process definitely helps.

Below is a short video of me burnishing one of the bowls.
