Coronavirus Quarantine: Video 3
I will be trying to post simple daily videos for inspiration for my students, and my subscribers to help give us some learning and distraction during this national emergency
In this video, I show how I throw three variations on creating spirals or rings while throwing on the wheel.
The first method I show is to take a cylinder which has been smoothed, and on my final pull, to place my right thumb nail against the clay wall as I pull up. My nail is a hard surface which is acting like a tool and creates the lines. Once the lines are created, I go back gently with my sponge to smooth any rough edges.
The second method is using a rib- I am using a sherrill red rib (See links in my google doc of amazon links) and I indent the top and bottom of bumps creating lovely rings, but they are not spirals.
The third method involves using a rib to push inward as my left fingers inside push outward… moving more quickly, and allowing a more pronounced deeper spiral.

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 28 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/shop/KaransPotsA...
I started my RU-vid channel a few 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!
