I LOVE what I do! I am a professional potter and a high school ceramics teacher! I have over 20 years of teaching experience in the visual arts. I hope you can pick up some handy tips from my videos to spur your creativity in clay! I began making these videos for my students, and their particular projects in my various level classes... but was amazed to find a much larger audience!
KaransPotsAndGlass is my shop name on Etsy... but here I'll share much more about working in clay than glass! (But, I just may throw in a video or two for the curious!) My personal pottery consists of wheel thrown stoneware functional pieces, yet the majority of my current videos are for the handbuilding I teach my students. These videos are mostly classroom related videos to demonstrate to my students various techniques which I teach... super handy if kids are absent, and need to review what they missed! If you like my videos, I invite you to come visit my shop! :-) I am a teacher and artist for life!
