Impressive! Where were you when I was in highschool art classes? I've made my far share of pinch pots but the way you go about getting them smooth and uniform with each other was an eye opener. Could you do a video on handbuilding lids. And one on making redware like the german folks who settled in Pennsylvania made. I realize they did a lot of drape molding and probably wheel throwing, but I would like to try their technique on handbuilt containers. Much thanks for your informative videos.
I enjoyed these 2 videos and learned Lots of tips! As a newbeginner in pottery (Raku) I also make all my vessels by hand and it does take longer to clean and have a nice smooth finish. Thanks Karan and you too stay safe and healthy😊
Could you show the Asian method of how to start throwing, using a base slab and 2 starter coils? I'm an old lady with weak wrists and just starting the wheel after forever hand building.
Yes! I always recycle them, and once it’s in slip form you can then dry it out again to the point of workable plastic clay! Here’s a video I did years ago on how I recycle in my home studio without a pug mill! ua-cam.com/video/2lPAbSxaXBU/v-deo.html
Hi Shontal! Yes, shredders do rust if kids leave clay on them, or they are washed without much attempt at drying. My school ones that the kids use, I give up on keeping that at bay...however, on my personal shredders at home, I wash well, then rub with a bit of oil, or try a squirt of wd-40 and then remove the majority of the residue with a rag! That increases their longevity!
Thank you so much Karen for the great tips for uniformity of bowls. So grateful for your teaching.
♥️🤗♥️
The card edging idea is brilliant!! Fantastic tutorial. Hope you and your family are doing well. Take care!!
Thanks for the handbuilding videos. I miss turning, but handbuilding is nice too.

What do you do with all the excess shavings? Can you keep them, add a small amount of water to make slip?

I love your videos, they are very informative. I am new to pottery and this is like being in a class.
Can you make wind chimes?
Great idea!
Love your videos - so great during lockdown! Do you have interest in doing a hand-built teapot? Would love it!
I do have a few handbuilt teapots I did this past year- I’ll try to reply with the links tomorrow! :)
I saw some hand made Bella for outside made from slab clay. Could you show us how and the clippers thank you from

I’m way too much of a perfectionist, I would drive myself mad trying to make sure they were all exactly alike.
Lol! Thankfully, my beginning ceramics students don’t share that problem! ;)
My pinch pots were always lumpy and tragic. I should have stuck with it and tidied them up!
Can I ask please , does your shredder get rusty . Mine gets really rusty after washing it

@KaransPotsAndGlass Thank you so much Karen. This is really helpful. I will definitely try doing that. 🙂
I love your videos- but I would like to see your tools more cleacrly.
