Hi Karan!, How a re you? I would like to ask you about the use of sponge. For example, for this phase (cleaning of the trimming) what kind of the sponge do you recommend? (soft, thin, etc) thank you very much!
I’d say a softer sponge that won’t leave indentations! One of those little round yellow (inexpensive) ceramic sponges is what my students use! Just remember- only do that if your clay isn’t grogged!! Grogged clay will be rough if sponged- in that case I use a stiff round bristled brush and water! Like these!! amzn.to/2UZ6967
Hi Karen, May I know the exact type of clay you use? You say standard 103 (which, after looking it up - means low fire clay) Can you recommend a specific brand? I'm looking to use red earthenware and underglaze it. Thanks!
Standard is a brand in the US. Many clay suppliers sell standard clay bodies! Other manufacturers have equivalent to this grogless red earthenware! Here is the Standard website so you can see: standardceramic.com/
That is correct. The only time I pierce a wall with a needle tool to check thickness is on a wet wheel thrown hunk which has been dropped in the middle to check depth of the floor. I don't pierce it when it is being pinched, as I want the kids to develop the sensitivity of feeling the wall thickness. :) . I'm sure you could while it is plastic... it is just a step I don't really take with my kids. :)
That depends on how dry. If it is only a little- you can slowly add moisture with a damp (just damp- not wet) towel and bag it. If it is bone dry, I would recycle it and begin again! :)

Thank you for this! My 10 and 7-year-old sons and I wanted to learn to handbuild. You made it easy and were so encouraging!
thank you, i learned how to use a shredder to clean up the pinch pot.
any more tips on how to make the pot look smoother?
Very helpful 😊
This was really helpful!!
Love your videos! 😊
Good one..👌👌👌
If you're at home and don't have a shredder, can you use a normal grater?
Yes!! I’ve found some little ones at the Dollar store I’ve tried that work well!

@@KaransPotsAndGlass thank you!,
@@KaransPotsAndGlass do you have a link to the kind of stiff bristle brush you recommend?
We dont get these shredder in india. What can we use in its replacement
Is a lazy susan style cake stand suitable as a banding wheel?
That can certainly work!!! It may be less durable, but nice if you’re on a budget!

Mine dried out , should i wet it a little?
