- This video shows THREE techniques for finishing the stoneware pumpkins my students made with a combination of Iron Oxide and cone 6 glazes. This is a follow up on the two recent videos on Making Pinch Pot Pumpkins link here: • Two Ways to Make EASY ... and also Making Wheel Thrown Pumpkins link here: • Making Wheel-Thrown Cl... .
The three techniques are:
Apply and wipe the iron oxide from the high points, leave it in the texture. Bisque fire the wiped pumpkins. Once bisque fired, apply cone 6 glazes, and refire to cone 6- bottoms wiped with patties
Apply and wipe the iron oxide from the high points, leave it in the texture. Glaze fire the wiped pumpkins to the final cone 6 firing temperature.
Just apply cone 6 glazes, wipe bottom, make patties, fire to cone 6
If you are interested in the wooden tool I use for making the “V groove” of the pumpkin ribs, I have these handy tools among others in my shop! Here is the tool link! www.etsy.com/KaransPotsAndGla...
The cone six glazes are Coyote that my students are using. The iron oxide is a mix which I mixed up with frit 3195 in equal amounts and mixed with water to form a very thin, watery appearance like india ink.

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 33+ years, and I have been teaching for over 30 years, the past 23 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/shop/KaransPotsA...
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!
I am in a partnership with Skutt - as they sent me the new wheel to use for the videos! I am not receiving any compensation from them beyond the wheel.
Fun pottery.🥰
I’m in California and I’m cringing to see the running water while you wipe off the oxide. We use 2-3 buckets to rinse the sponge.
sorry to make you cringe! :)
I was thinking the same thing.... water wastage is a little distressing to me
Do you have a video about setting up a home studio? My daughter aspires to have her own studio and I would love a home one to help encourage her future ventures. I would also love a wheel at home so I can get plenty of practice time to hone my skills. I am a homeschool mom of 4 having graduated two already. Have wanted to learn for years and now have a local studio where I get to create once a week.
I have a little “tour” of my studio I recently made here: Pottery Studio Organization: A Tour of My Basement Home Studio Space! ua-cam.com/video/R_k5zRs5KIo/v-deo.html
Please confirm … the tortilla patty will be dry by the time you fire and then you throw it away?
It will be dry before the temperature gets to 200 degrees- sometimes I load them wet, and preheat to dry them. I don’t dispose of them until I’ve used them to the point they can no longer be used. (I reuse them) At home, I make mine thicker, kiln wash them, and they last for many firings!
