I use the lighter weight- I think it might be 15 lb as opposed to the 30 lb weight. It is sold in big rolls near roofing materials. ** Note** you don’t want to use the fiberglass embedded tar paper as this is problematic in handling. This video is my last video for my Ceramics I classes for the spring 2020, as we were out of school for 7 weeks. I still needed to cover the learning standard of slab building with them, and this video introduced and covered the techniques. This method of working with slabs involves using tar paper.

(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!
