I will be trying to post simple daily videos for inspiration for my students, and my subscribers to help give us some learning and distraction during this national emergency
In this video, I show how I throw three variations on creating spirals or rings while throwing on the wheel.
The first method I show is to take a cylinder which has been smoothed, and on my final pull, to place my right thumb nail against the clay wall as I pull up. My nail is a hard surface which is acting like a tool and creates the lines. Once the lines are created, I go back gently with my sponge to smooth any rough edges.
The second method is using a rib- I am using a sherrill red rib (See links in my google doc of amazon links) and I indent the top and bottom of bumps creating lovely rings, but they are not spirals.
The third method involves using a rib to push inward as my left fingers inside push outward… moving more quickly, and allowing a more pronounced deeper spiral.
Information on the bat system, please contact:

The system comes with 1 Master bat and six, six inch inserts. Our price for the bat system is $80 and each additional insert is $3.50. Plus freight which so far everyone I have sent has been around $30. This is all Canadian dollar pricing

I am using Laguna B mix cone 6 in this
I am a public high school ceramics teacher at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. (Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 28 years, the past 20 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; www.etsy.com/s...
I started my UA-cam channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently. I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students!
Please subscribe to my channel if you would like to receive channel updates, or would like to learn more about clay and studio processes!
Thank you! I am extra happy with these videos. Not being able to throw is sad. But seeing somebody else throw is very nice now.
I know what I did wrong. I used the pointy side of a wooden knive. I made burrs.
I'm teaching English/Reading to my high school students remotely, and while it's not ideal, I can't imagine teaching ceramics this way! You always do such a great job explaining things clearly. Thank you for all your videos - I always learn something new!
Thank you for another interesting and fun tutorial. I know every time I watch I'm learning something. Stay safe and take care!!
Thank you for making these. I’m a ceramics student in Austin and so far my school hasn’t been able to start anything to try and teach us remotely yet. So I’m glad I have this to keep my ceramics brain rolling. :)
Thank you very much for your creative an inspiring videos, well explained and helpful! Even for no-students but people who do pottery for fun and are looking for new ideas! :-D
Greetings from good old Germany!
TY these are so great. Appreciate the effort💚
Awesome demo. I really like the last example. I’m going to give it a try.
Thank you, again, Karan! From Juli in Tucson 🌵🌵🌵
Good work, I like it as it is my professional work
Thanks!
Thanks nice demo!
Thank you for your great videos, I already have a whole list of ideas that I would like to throw when our workshop will be open again.
I could still buy clay and would like to start building sculptures and objects, probably start with pinching or building method and hollow it out.
Can you maybe make a video, how to do it, how thick can the walls be? How long do I have to let it dry until I can fire it?
great tutorial, I'm going to give this a go with some tumblers. How would you recommend turning them after? I'm thinking just before leather hard and with a sponge to just smooth off the surface, what tips do you have. Thanks again :-)
for tumblers, I would just make the bottom tidy- I often don't even trim, I just keep them flat! I would say it depends on your design! :)
Thank, forced off work like you . Throwing mugs this week for sanity.
Good 🌹
