Glad you liked it! I have them in my Etsy shop if you are interested!! :) karanspotsandglass.etsy.com/listing/1091381855/hard-maple-or-cherry-shaping-tool-for?Copy&ListingManager&Share&.lmsm&share_time=1691866218434
I have just started on pottery and we had to make a pumpkin first. I love your first way of making it will try some today. Can you tell me please for the vent hole we got told to make a large one and not underneath it had to be on the side lower down somewhere??? Any thoughts/ advice for me 🙏
Not too sure why you were told not underneath. You can sit a pot on a hole, it won't prevent it from allowing air to escape. Perhaps if on the side, it will more readily allow the moisture to escape? I certainly don't worry about that myself, I always tell kids to put the holes on the bottom or the least conspicuous place.
I’ve made a few of your pumpkins today with great success so far. I’m wondering if you cover the stems so they don’t dry out too fast? Thanks again for sharing your wonderful video
Although it’s helpful for the MOISTURE to escape- if it’s thoroughly dry - you do not necessarily need it… that being said- I make my students put the hole!!
That’s not a simple answer as I like different clays for different things. I prefer midfire or highfire clay as opposed to earthenware because of the glazes. For school, I prefer the versatility of Standard 225 stoneware, for my personal work I mostly use Laguna b mix- but am looking at making the switch entirely to porcelain in the next year or so. I like the white clay for sgraffito work, but have had some awesome results with a great Highwater clay called red rocks. I may want to incorporate some of that into my work again in the future!
@@KaransPotsAndGlass I was going to ask the same question since I've had difficulties with air drying clay. When they shrink the work might crack. I guess I just need more tutorials.
Thank you so much, i have 2 assignments i need to do and i wanted to do a pumkin! So this really helps! Thanks
Such a great video. Especially tool alternatives and DIY suggestions.
OMG - LOOOOOOVE them.... can't wait to play w/clay!
fabulous video. I can't wait to try it!
I’ve been thinking about making a large one of these and horizontally slicing it near the top to make a jar out of it.
Awesome! I'm working on a video on that very thing! Ha!

Only negative thing to say is that the video ended! 🤣
Made a pumpkin tonight. First pinch pot ever. Thank you for the great instruction! I really struggled with the stem for some reason.
Awesome and so fun!
Wow!!
You're my favorite!
Great video! 😀
A great video. Thanks. I love the tool you made.

Thank you this is a great video! Have you posted the post glaze photos yet?
No- they’re still drying- I will bisque later this week! :) I will definitely post the glazing!

I just cover them with a towel to dry evenly and slowly!
Awesome as usual
Thank you! 😊
do you need a hole for hot air to escape when its fired in the killn?

Could you carve them into jack-o-lanterns or would they collapse?
absolutely you could carve them if you wait until they're leatherhardnif they are squishy!!
Esto se puede hacer con arcilla de secado al aire?
Sure!

@marsmellon sorry- I can’t see the original question! I normally don’t have issues with the pumpkins cracking because they dry pretty evenly!
How small are the very littlest ones? I've been making them out of balls of clay--I wonder if it would be easier to do them using your method.
The smallest are about an inch! I love making them hollow as they dry nicely and are lighter!
@@KaransPotsAndGlass Thank you very much! I'm definitely going to try it.
