Drop Pots An Easy Beginner Clay Project!

This video shows how to make “Drop Pots”... lidded textured pots carved from a dropped solid block of clay.
This video is intended as either a time filler in my class- if kids want to do a fun extra piece if they have time, or truly, I intended it for the aides who may come to my class with some special needs kids who cannot do the projects my typical kids can do in class. I am making a playlist of videos for kids, beginners, or special needs kids who have the help of an aide.
Here is the link to the playlist: • Easy Beginner Projects...
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. www.amazon.com...
For many of the great tools I used in the video 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!)

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 30 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; www.etsy.com/s...
I started my KZbin channel several 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!

Pinch pots are great with little ones!! They can stamp them, sculpt them- make little animals, little “vases”- the possibilities are endless!!
