Using Sticker Paper to Cut Resists When Glazing Pottery!

This video is a quick demonstration of using sticker paper to cut designs to use as a resist in glazing. I am using paper stickers, but vinyl works a bit better, I just didn’t have any at the time. Materials needed: Sticker paper, Your original drawing on the sticker paper Xacto knife Cutting mat Wax resist- optional if dipping Glaze. (I am using Coyote Clay and Color Steel Gray Shino, cone 6) Clay for patty I demonstrate how I cut out a sticker design using a craft knife in order to place on my bisque fired cup, and glaze over to create a dynamic design. In my classroom, we use stoneware glazes (cone 5 and 6 midfire) on our Standard 153 stoneware, a nice midrange firing stoneware. I used underglazes in the carved design grooves of the boxes to keep the stoneware glazes separate when they fire.

(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!
