Throwing, Trimming, and Finishing a Faceted Stretched Cup with a Stained Clay 

In yet another installation of my series of videos on working with stained marbled clay, this video covers the processes of throwing a thick straight-walled cup form, cutting facets in the side while plastic and on the wheel, and then stretching the faceted sides by pushing out the interior walls to create a belly. I remove slip from the exterior and interior of the form with a rib, and allow to get leatherhard. Once leatherhard, I trim the cup form using my Giffin Grip- holding the pot securely upside-down. I demonstrate how I create marbled handles, and then when those are leatherhard, I demonstrate the handle attachment and finishing.

I am a full-time high school visual arts ceramics teacher in Mason, Ohio and I started my RU-vid channel years ago to help my students who may have been absent and missed a demonstration in class. Little did I realize how helpful the videos would be to people beyond my classroom. I hope you find these helpful, and I invite you to subscribe for new videos and channel updates. The name of my channel is the same as my Etsy shop name. www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsAn...
Someday, I will get around to making some videos on glass slumping! :)
In this video, I use Laguna b-mix with grog, cone 5, and I clear glazed the finished cup with Coyote clear. The blue stain I used is a mason stain 6300.
