Hi Karen, Thank you for this great tutorial. I have a couple of questions. I am giving a 3-day pinch pot class, and hoping that the students will be able to walk away with their finished piece (underglazed and fired). So basically they will need to make the pinch pots, wait for them to get leatherhard, decorate and underglaze them, apply clear glaze, and fire away. The class will be running every day from 9am to 4pm for 3 days, so how long would you recommend I dedicate for each step?

Hi Noha- in three days that sounds ambitious... unless you want them to be able to pick up the following week. I have had kids do it with 5 days before. If you really are going with a once fire method, you may consider having them pinch (morning) make handles (morning), clean (afternoon), attach handles and footrings (afternoon) and finish cleaning . Second day, start and finish glazing (morning)... then leave them uncovered throughout the day- maybe even with a fan or in the sun. Then you could do a quick fire that evening if you are sure they are completely dry. Just make sure they are really dry though... because explosions of glazed greenware clay can be disastrous, as the shards stick all over the kiln and can damage the elements. Cups with handles should have EVEN drying to prevent the handles from cracking. So, you will have to control the drying so it is even. I recommend drying under towels, but that will also slow things down. I hope this helps some!

Thank you Karan. I enjoyed this video and was looking for a clear and step by step guide - I found it. Thanks to you. I am thinking of ordering Botz Engobe to add design and texture and for my kids to use. I also came across underglaze pencils a while ago and bought some. Have you ever used Botz Plus? I have some of their stoneware glazes and they are very good and would like to experiment with this product in the future.

+Smile Wider Sorry for the delay in responding! I just now saw this! No, I've never used or even heard of Botz Engobe! I'm assuming you're in a country besides the US? ;-) I bet it would work! I've only used a few engobes in the past, and then, I've never used them on greenware. My advice is just make sure the engobe doesn't stick to the shelf if on the bottoms of pots. I assume it wouldn't, but since it has been years since trying them, I'd test if it first to make sure! The only reason I use the underglaze with my kids is just in case they make their pot too thick, and one explodes, the underglaze won't fuse to the kiln shelf! I've never had one blow up, but I still like to be cautious! ;-) Ha! So, I have a question for you then too... would you clear glaze over the engobe once bisque fired then? I've actually only ever used engobes on top of another glaze in the past! I'm curious to know! :-)

+KaransPotsAndGlass Hi there. I will be clear glazing after I have applied them to bisque. Same goes for the pencils. I use Botz because I like the set they do and I started using Botz Stoneware glazes. I plan on using Botz Plus when I make larger piece in the future.

+sharon stanley Hi Sharon! I'm fairly confident that most of the techniques in clay could be used with air-dry clay! I've never really used air dry clay myself. I'd assume you could just use a paint rather than an underglaze if you choose to do the sgraffito technique... of course, it wouldn't be food safe... but a great learning process nonetheless! :-)

I have a small studio at my home and I have a large variety of hand tools but I'm missing stuff like Sponges, and and other cleanup tools xD (like that cheese grater looking tool) lol I use to love ceramics in my highschool, but its been afew years and I sadly haven't even used my studio :/ but since I'm unemployed I figured it'd be best to bust some cool stuff out :)

What do you recommend I do if there are scuff marks on my pot and it isn't smoothing out with a yellow rib??
@KaransPotsAndGlass
9 жыл бұрын
+Daisy Marin Hi Daisy! If the marks are just slightly scuffs rather than dents... perhaps a red rib with a little water? It can give a really tight, smooth texture that is nearly shiny. Almost burnished. However, if the scuffs are actually dents, I would move back to a stainless steel scraper... to scrape away the clay and even it to the bottom of the dent. (I hope one of these two solutions makes sense for your problem!) Let me know if you need more clarification, or a different answer! ;-)

Hi Eunice- sorry for the delay- I was out of town. What is the clay you are using? Be careful not to overwork your edges, or use excessive water on the edges, as that can cause cracking. It basically will break down the clay and recycle it if you add too much water. Just let me know a few more specifics on when you see the cracking, and I can help you troubleshoot more!

KaransPotsAndGlass Thank you! I think it had to do with where I wedged it. It was an old wood table and it may have sucked out the water. I’m not sure if that’s correct but my cracking was before it dried while I worked it. I’m using a speckled buff but I was wondering if I could make something like this with porcelain?
@KaransPotsAndGlass

@@EuniceVillalobos1 - yes, you absolutely can make it from porcelain! As I tell my kids... just pinch it quickly, and smooth over cracks before they get big... immediately smooth them over! If you pinch or squeeze the clay when it begins to dry, it tends to crack!

Yes- I know- sorry. I have been meaning to redo this video. I made it for my students one day after school with the only camera I had available at that time. Unfortunately, I didn't know until it was too late after the video was shot that it had such focus issues. Needless to say, in my newer videos I would never use that camera again! :) It was one of the first ones I ever made! :)
