These three short video snippets below are a continuation of my ceramic bell making lesson. Previously on this blog Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 all deal with creating the outer bell shape.
In Part 4a I'm demonstrating how great these bells sound when finished. 4b, I demonstrate the sound making "clapper" of the bell. 4c I make the clay bead that holds the clapper at the right level inside the bell. Part 5, next Tuesday, will be stringing all the fired pieces together.
Video 4a: Ringing some finished bells to show off their lovely sound.
Video 4b: forming the bell clapper
Video 4c: forming the bead that secures the string and wiring mechanisms.
Enjoy these two video snippets and stay tuned for the rest!
