Three Easy Wheel Thrown Spoon Rests! Day 24 Quarantine Distraction Video

Coronavirus Quarantine: Video 24 I will be trying to post simple daily videos for inspiration for my students, and my subscribers to help give us some learning and distraction during this national emergency. Here is a link to the playlist I am adding to: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0pNzEmvM_qHHMTkWNXKzUd_0BADQL0a In this video I demonstrate three different ways to make easy wheel thrown spoon rests. I am using Laguna bmix cone 5 no grog. I use ¾ lb of clay for each one. I flatten the centered clay into a disk about ½” thick, then I lift the edge to create a plate edge, using my dominant thumb, and pushing it against the bat to lift a rim. Then I thin the wall into the form I want. I added a spiral to a few of them. The three differences are: 1) I cut the wall in a notch to make a space for the handle 2) I make a folded out area like a pitcher spout for the handle, and 3) I fold up the edge to create a flat area for the handle. Once leatherhard, I tidy the bottom with a rib. For the great tools I used in the video (including the Kemper wooden knife) check out this link to a live searchable (control F) Googledoc I continually update with lots of my favorite tools on Amazon using my associate links! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XbYPQjjJnHrQG5xyWGMHZkEcZj5N8VnUAbFZdJRrRmU/edit?usp=sharing You can also check out my Amazon Influencer Store Here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/karanspotsandglass The contact information for ordering the bat system is: email is ontariostpottery@gmail.com. The system comes with 1 Master bat and six, six inch inserts. Our price for the bat system is $80 and each additional insert is $3.50. Plus freight which so far everyone I have sent has been around $30. This is all Canadian dollar pricing 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 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!
