Do you love pottery as well as fermenting your own vegetables or making sauerkraut? Then why not challenge yourself and throw your very own fermenting pot on the wheel. A large tall shape, with two (or more) handles, a double high rim into and a lid that fits perfectly. In the space between the double rim you add water, creating a water lock. And while you’re at it, why not make some weighted stones to help you in the fermentation process? As you can tell, this is a project that requires quite a few different techniques.

We’ve gather some examples to inspire you:
