Safety Concerns and Tips for Students Using Clay Materials at Home!

This video is for my students who have been sent home from Face to Face learning to quarantine and do remote learning for the next few weeks. Since we haven’t been able to go over this information in class yet, I have made this video to give them some of the basics of what they will need to work from home with clay. Here is a link to the safety and tips of working with materials from home sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BBT7Q8qVBwQIBDNVGI1w4DQ-a0PBAzNr3lp09RMXU-I/edit?usp=sharing For a video on how I made the damp box, see this link: https://youtu.be/iUcLptP4Wlo My favorite pottery supplier is my local one: I recommend Cornell Studio Supply in Dayton, Ohio 8290 N Dixie Drive Dayton, Ohio 45414 Fax: (937) 454-0397 Tel: (937) 454-0357 cornellstudiosupply@gmail.com https://cornellstudiosupply.com/ Feel free to call- they are super-helpful!

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 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!
