I've only just come across your videos as i've started an evening course at my local college. Thank you for being so thorough in the way you explain things and for making pottery accessible 💌
I truly love your videos and how you teach. Your tricks and tips are amazing thank you for taking the time doing these. I'm just beginning in pottery and am truly enjoying your videos.
Thank you, Karan! I was given an order for nine oval dishes and have not been able to find anything to use as a mold/s...because of your demo, handmade molds will help fulfill the order! Saved again by your videos!!!
As always, wonderful video with some awesome tips I never thought about before! That coil tip is so cool, I'm definitely going to be using that for some new shapes. Thanks so much, Karan!
Great video! Do you ever have trouble removing the clay from the bowl (even with the corn starch)? What do you suggest then? Thanks so much for the great video post! :-) Also, how long do you leave the clay in that glass bowl? I never know when to remove it-your smaller plates on this video came out of the clay “mold” so fast. Will they keep their shape? Thanks again!
With the corn starch- removal is a breeze. If it does get stuck- more cornstarch is needed. I’d leave in the mold until it’s leatherhard- if you cover with a towel that’s usually helpful to allow foe slow even drying. If a piece is genuinely stuck- it may need to be remade... stuck clay will often crack or rip when drying and not allowed to move for shrinking. (Same with don’t allow it to overhang the edge!)
And, I should say... depending on how big the piece is, I often allow it to get leatherhard before removing... but those tiny trays were stiff enough to hold their shape to take them out while more plastic!
Nice! I can't imagine pushing the slabs to the mold like that! mine definitely cracks. infact when I make a slab, there's always lots of tiny cracks on the other side. I tried this method yesterday wrapped it with thick towels to dry slowly overnight, first thing I saw in the morning was some huge cracks 😔
Hmmm, perhaps start with your clay a bit more plastic- add a bit more water to help maybe prior to rolling? (And compress on both sides after rolling!)
Hi Karen, I bought the rolling pin your recommended on your Amazon store. It’s great. Just a question. I had to rinse it in the sink and now the wood isn’t smooth. What do you recommend I do? Should I get oil for it-what kind? Thanks so much. I love your channel.
Oh, yes- oil is probably a good idea! I have a little bottle of wood oil I use from time to time I think mine is “Watco danish oil”- but, I’m sure there are tons of other possibilities- I’m just not sure- I’d just Google to see if you could use a more household oil?? Or even beeswax?
@@KaransPotsAndGlass Thank you so much for the reply!! 💕 I appreciate you saying that. After some research I am going to use Tung Oil. Thanks again!!! 😊
My local supplier is out right now... but I found this online at one retailer. You may find them for a cheaper deal if you shop around! shop.clay-planet.com/thickness-strips.aspx
I do, and have done it in the past- but decided long ago just to use commercial glazes for my needs and those at school. I don’t have any location which is appropriate for safely mixing glazes with adequate ventilation, nor do I have room to store the dry ingredients! There are lots of great potters on RUclips that do mix their own though!
Thanks for answering.... I was hoping you would give a class one day on making your own glaze. I love your videos. You are such an amazing teacher. And we are so lucky to be able to enjoy them. Any chance you could give online « private lesson » for me ? I always have some questions or need advice ......

@@KaransPotsAndGlass did all that, to no avail... perhaps if I could send some photos you could diagnose this big problem for me :( can I?

What is a “shaker”? (Salt & pepper?) I missed that description. Ps, I love your descriptive videos! Great job!
A salt and pepper shaker set! :)
How can I sign up for ur classes? I love the way you teach!
Lol! Currently I’m not teaching any classes or workshops besides my high school classes! Maybe someday!

Increíble. 👏👏👏

Deveria ter legenda em português!
Thanks for another wonderful lesson. I can go shopping for molds in my kitchen! By the way ... your hair looks great and it’s getting long.
Haaa! Thanks, Carol! :)
scraps of pvc pipe work well as a rolling pin
Yes! And for a zero cost version, hard carpet tubing cut to manageable lengths works well too!
Well. 👍👍
