Thanks for sharing Simon!! I really enjoyed this and can't wait to see the rest of the pieces completed. :-)

See comment above ... I'm putting them together today ! ...will make video

Yeah, I saw it Simon, looking forward to the next video!!

Thank you for this botijo creation video. I suppose these are somewhat impossible to trim with their ball shaped top?

No need to trim ! these are finished as thrown and the handle, mouth and spout are added when soft leather hard.
I'll be doing a video on that as well as the throwing of the mouth and spouts.

Looking forward to the sequel.
