An Introduction to Throwing on the Wheel for Ceramics II at MHS Day 33 Quarantine Distraction Vide

Coronavirus Quarantine: Video 33

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. Here is a link to the playlist I am adding to:    • Online Learning During Coronavirus  

This video I made to introduce my Ceramics II kids to some basics of Wheel Throwing, as this is one of the learning standards we were still yet to cover this year before we were closed out of school. Unfortunately, these kids won’t have the opportunity to throw on the wheel, but at least they will be able to see how it is done and to understand some basics of it. In this video I show the basics of centering, opening, pulling, and forming a cylinder, shaped cup, bowl, plate and vase

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; https://www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsA...

I started my Youtube 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!
