This video is preparing my Ceramics I kids to build their construction paper models for their slab projects, where they learn the basics of slab building with tar paper construction. You can find more videos about the slab construction of the pots in the following videos: If you would like to see the videos on the construction process of the slab forms the links are below: Day one: Building the Slab Form with Tar Paper: https://youtu.be/PThlHsQhZ7E Day two: Cleaning the Leatherhard Slab form and removing the tar paper: https://youtu.be/vHKupITpcjc Or the all in one practice slab skillbuilder video that we do as a preliminary to the actual project. https://youtu.be/eumib36t60k You will find the link to the informational poster I made which you can download HERE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t1SXlsL3ybkibeSFF9zA9ZOo7jxztnfS/view?usp=sharing Please note, this poster is for your personal or classroom use, not for resale in any form.

(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! Please subscribe to my channel if you would like to receive channel updates, or would like to learn more about clay and studio processes!
