This video is for my Ceramics II students as we are making Lidded Pots for our Raku project. I show different kinds of lids and pots- and if you are interested in the pdf of the handout I made, it is found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dX3TMHC4HeEYr6t8pPe0-fSrGtniAlic/view?usp=sharing
The pots are not yet finished at this point… I will still clean those and attach handles, and will post the finishing video in a few days and add it to the playlist below.
Here is a playlist of all the videos in this pinch lidded pot project:

We are using Standard 153 stoneware in our class for this project rather than our traditional raku clay body, to simplify the clay bodies they are dealing with should students be working from home while quarantined in fall of '20. We normally use 259 for raku.
For the great tools I used in the video (including the mudtools ribs and needle tools) check out this link to a live Googledoc I continually update with lots of my favorite tools on Amazon using my associate links! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XbYPQjjJnHrQG5xyWGMHZkEcZj5N8VnUAbFZdJRrRmU/edit?usp=sharing
I made this video for my Ceramics II 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 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/KaransPotsAndGlass
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!
