This video is the second day for my Ceramics I students, after they have created their slab plates and allowed them to get leatherhard. It takes them through cleaning, carving, and cleaning of the carving. This technique applies to my students specifically, and may not apply to everyone.

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!

You are confusing your autofocus!

Yeah, Vince- sorry about that! I've used several cameras in the past, and wouldn't know until shooting the video was done, that the focus was messed up. Unfortunately, it is rather wonky on a few of my videos. At least I now know which cameras I should never be used on filming videos now! I always apologize to my students when they view this one!
