## Transcript

**Saori:** Hello everyone! This time I’ll show you the whole process. Let’s start by coloring the clay with Mason stains.

**Video cuts to Saori shaping the clay on the potter’s wheel.**

Saori: Then I’ll show you the forming and trimming. Let’s get started.

**Saori leans in close to the camera and accidentally hits her head. The video cuts to another angle.**

Saori: If it does not meet the standard, it has to be done again. Wheel throwing is finished. Let’s try it out and see how it stacks up. At this point, I can stack about three. I’m trying my best to load as much as possible.

**Video cuts to the fired teacups.**

Saori: After firing, about two was a stable number. Thank you for watching!
