This video covers the basics which my students need to learn in order to glaze their raku pots which they made in my Ceramics I and II classes. This video is very specific to my classroom… but does have aspects which extend beyond my classroom. I use Amaco Raku Glazes in my classroom, with the exception of Begs White Crackle which I mix, as well as LG 11- lowfire Black Magic- which is a regular lowfire glaze. Check out my Amazon Influencer Store where I have recommendations for some of my favorite tools and products many of which I use in my videos- which are available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/shop/karanspotsandglass For the great tools I use in my videos -check out this link to a live Googledoc I continually update with lots of my favorite tools on Amazon using my associate links! (also some non-amazon suggestions on here!) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XbYPQjjJnHrQG5xyWGMHZkEcZj5N8VnUAbFZdJRrRmU/edit?usp=sharing Specific links for glazing tape resist are on my googledoc above, as well as here: https://amzn.to/3myCA3v https://amzn.to/2TCrttM https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B7FMVJ6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=karanspotsand-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07B7FMVJ6&linkId=4e17246d47c4db749d0293da17debd2a https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G9Y191N/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=karanspotsand-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07G9Y191N&linkId=c7749da5f0cc7283126e2038b82a902c 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 29 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!
