Throwing Chucks and Trimming Narrow Necked Bottle Forms on the Potter's Wheel 

In this video I show how I throw chucks for trimming bottle forms. I keep a variety of fired chucks in my classroom studio and my home studio, but they can also be bagged and kept in the leatherhard stage for use.
I am using Laguna B Mix cone 5-6 for my bottles, throwing on my Skutt classic wheel using my Giffin Grip Mini. I threw the chucks at school using standard 225 on a Pacifica wheel

I made this video for my Ceramics II, III, and independent study students at Mason High School. 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!
