This video shows how to fix an issue that many potters have at some point in their pot-making. That is having a pot come out of the kiln with less than desired results, and reglazing and refiring it until it is successful. I have a bowl where I didn’t apply enough glaze, and had to refire it. I used Mayco Stroke and Coat, (which has a huge range from lowfire to cone 6, and even some go to cone 10.) The clay body is Standard 225 Brown Stoneware, with a 2% absorption at cone 6 and 12% shrinkage.
The imagery of the sunflowers was inspired by the situation happening now in Ukraine, in support of the Ukrainans living under attack, as the world rallies around them.
Cone 6; Ramphold Drop soak program, medium speed. Skutt programming

I am a public high school ceramics teacher at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. (Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 30 years, the past 20+ have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; www.etsy.com/s...
I started my RU-vid channel several years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently. I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students!
Please subscribe to my channel if you would like to receive channel updates, or would like to learn more about clay and studio processes!
Full disclosure: Mayco did send me some glazes to try for my videos!
