I'm exploring pottery for the first time and this video is one of the few that got straight into it and patiently explained things step by step, without going into unnecessary details like type of clay etc. I have signed up for my first pottery class thanks to you. Thank you!!
Love the video! I'm having trouble rolling my clay out...that's an art in itself. What is the best surface to use to roll it out and work on it as well?
Would love to try this. The wheel stressed me out so I’m thinking of trying hand building instead. Especially cause I’m a drawer and painter so I think it’ll work better for me
Thank you for this video. I'm a substitute art teacher and want to do this with fourth and fifth grade students. Where can I find a template like yours? How many mugs can be built per 25# bag of clay?
This clay does need to be put into an oven (kiln) but there are many air-dry clay options that are available online! I don’t know if it would be safe to drink or eat off of though. Normally you need clay that has been fired in a kiln to be dinnerware safe
@@lisamcc1275 watch a bunch of videos and surf the web! There are so many techniques for pottery and each person has their own way of doing things. It might work for you and it might not! Don’t be afraid to make and don’t be afraid to fail!
Very nice video, but I’m wondering why you didn’t bevel your sides? That’s a fairly basic technique that not only makes the connection more secure but aesthetically pleasing. Even with the wiping and removing of clay that you did the connection looks less than ideal.
Thanks for your feedback! Yes beveling is something I try to do with my more advanced students. I made this video originally for my 6th grade middle school students where I simplified most of the process down to its bare bones. I generally show beveling in person in class. Thanks so much 😊
Thanks for your comment! I made my template by taking an old paper cup that I cut and laid flat onto paper to create the curved template! Hope this helps!
Okay you know that there is a way of making a slab coffee cup I can make them in under 3 minutes and they work people by much doing my last one I sold for 20 bucks and your way is very very nice actually kind of awesome I like it it's very precise
I cut a paper cup and laid it flat on a piece of paper in order to make the template. You can use any paper cup. That way you can choose the size of the final mug
She’s my art teacher❤

@@kimmieowe I love working on thick uncoated canvas fabric! It cleans with water and dries pretty quick. You can get it any almost any arts store.
It's a great video for me. Thanks!!!

Tip of advise: before beginning to work with ceramics find out where you can bring your pieces to cook! You need a knilt

I know they sell some on pottery supply websites. But I made mine by cutting a paper cup and laying it flat on a piece of card stock and cut it out!

How thick are you rolling your slabs?
They are about 1/4 of an inch!
Was there a link to the template? Thanks, Cathy
How thick do roll the clay to ?
Does this clay not enter the oven.. and where do I get it?
This clay does need to be put into an oven (kiln) but there are many air-dry clay options that are available online! I don’t know if it would be safe to drink or eat off of though. Normally you need clay that has been fired in a kiln to be dinnerware safe
@@HowersArtClass Thank you, thank you, dear
