Throwing a Strawberry Planter or Multi-Hole Planter on the Potter's Wheel! 

This video is a demonstration of making a large strawberry planter - or a multi-hole pot for succulents or flowers thrown from multiple balls of clay adding to 21 lbs on the potter’s wheel. I am throwing softer clay to prevent further injury to my rotator cuff!
I happen to be using Standard 225 stoneware (cone 6) for this demo- as that is the clay my students use on the wheel.

I made this video for my Ceramics III, and independent study students at Mason High School (and all my viewers interested in learning more about clay!). 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 35 years, and I have been teaching for over 33 years, over the past 27 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!
