[@atelier_du_peyron]

I think it's amazing that this video was made 2 years ago and it will always be here to teach us....this is brilliant! Thank you so much!

[@Ambikaaaa]

The world needs more teachers like you Karan. I wish I could learn under you. Thank you for making these elaborate videos for us who can't be a part of your classes. ❤️

Wow, your students are very lucky to have you and all of these options and learning tools.

So jealous this random public high school has a whole ceramics studio!

[@KaransPotsAndGlass]

Lol- I teach in the largest high school in Ohio- we have 3600 students!

[@catherineyoung3889]

@@KaransPotsAndGlass And yet.....many schools in CA have as many students, even the so-called Arts Magnet school my kids went to, and they are NEVER this well stocked and organized! Good job, teacher!

[@LoriBergvall]

@@catherineyoung3889 I agree, living in CA. Karan is special, they are blessed with her enthusiasm and love of teaching. I am grateful to have her as my teacher! 😀

[@amygentile2868]

I know it wasn't meant to sound the way this statement comes off, but.... Why does it seem like people think everything should be better in Cali than in Ohio. BTW- I live in Cali. Back to the subject at hand- Karan you are an amazing teacher!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for your time.

Yikes😄 Same thoughts here in UK..what a great Teacher... lucky students..what a great 'random' find on KZbin..

This is so awesome! I had a blast watching this video. I am 44 years old.

I've been doing pottery for about 6 months now and I've already learned more in this one video than all of the other resources I've studied. Thank you for making this!

[@KaransPotsAndGlass]

Glad it was helpful! :)

[@joshuabucolo7543]

Art teacher here looking for a useful video to refresh my glaze knowledge, as it's been a few years since I was in a school with a working kiln. All I can say is, wow. Absolute goldmine of a video. Don't think they covered half of this in my undergrad ceramics course. Everything about this video and your studio is inspirational as an Art Educator. Kudos.

[@SarahWhitehouse-f6j]

Such an amazing video - thank you so much. I've just started pottery classes and had my first go at glazing yesterday and really haven't understood what's going on. I came to youtube to see what guidance I could find, and here you are! This is just so helpful. Thank you so much :-)

thanks Karan...love teaching and learning. (retired educator after 43 yrs) Recently bought wheel and kiln after taking a couple of classes. You are now teaching me in a detailed way. So good!!

[@liz8667]

This was so helpful! Your class has more stuff than my studio where I pay like $200 for 6 week classes. So many useful techniques!

[@katshanzy3975]

agreed! Karan you are wonderful for sharing your skills like this..

[@Nottherebutthere]

I have had ceramics classes at local art centers and at the college level. None of my teachers was as good as you. I hope your students realize what a great and competent teacher you are!

[@KaransPotsAndGlass]

Thanks foe the kind words, Carin!!

[@HEL1X-SPACE]

I wish I'm a kid and going to your school. You're such a great teacher and that looks like a first rate studio. Thanks for sharing this video. 💗💗💗 I can imagine how your students have benefited from the amount of skill and creative expression that they got to learn and experience. I also loved the practical tips like... how do you problem solved and think 3 dimensionally. Or how do you work efficiently and keep your studio clean. There's just so much fun and info to unpack.

[@susancarolc3626]

Just in case you weren't told today, you're a great teacher and wonderful lady. Thank you for all that you do here on KZbin and Thank goodness you don't have an annoying voice!!! I refer to your videos frequently..😊

[@KaransPotsAndGlass]

Thanks so much 😊

[@defyant1]

We are all jealous we did not have you as an art teacher in HS! Paper mache was as exciting as it got. Thank you and thanks to Mason High for sharing this - it is EXACTLY what I needed. The pdf is absolutely wonderful. I opened a second browser and watched them side by side. I too was amazed at your organization. I had Uni of Cincinnati art teachers when I first started (now in Fl) and they were not nearly as organized or as helpful. You were so good during COVID too. I didn't have a wheel /kiln back then but I watched faithfully and so glad I did. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

[@morganvernie]

Wow I love all these ideas for glazing. I'm really excited to see the shino over black combo. I'm getting ideas for when I'm able to get back in the studio.

[@Neta245]

I absolutly love how #12 turned out. Gonna try this when I have a good colors combo at the ceramic studio I go to. Thank you!

Very very helpful! Out of all the tutorials i’ve watched and people i’ve asked today in studio, this has been THE MOST helpful for me! I’m under the impression that you are happy doing what you’re doing, and that you’re a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much, you’re incredibly kind to post this publicly.

[@dscherrfreedman]

I am retired teacher and new potter. This was so helpful. Your students are very lucky to have access to such a wonderful resource. Thank you.

[@Mererid]

You are a rock star! My community College in California didn't have that many glaze options! We had about 40, but we mixed them all ourselves. Your students are so incredibly lucky to have you. The video had to take a fair amount of time to record and prep for for a half hour video.

[@KaransPotsAndGlass]

Thank you!!! It really did take quite a while- but I’m so glad I did it! The throwing, trimming, set up, filming and glazing all told took about 20 hours! I had three hours of footage that I “boiled down” to 25 minutes! But, now my kids have a reference for many years to come!!

[@Mererid]

@@KaransPotsAndGlass Clear proof that teacher need to be paid so much more than they are. Your dedication to you students is very clear.

[@brigidlachapelle5322]

Loved this Karan.Just what I needed to spice up my pots.Thank you from Ontario,Canada.

[@chrismartin9743]

This is such a great video! Thanks so much for posting it. There are so many ceramics videos and it can be so hard to find a really straightforward video where an intelligent person is explaining all the ways to glaze without loads of talking crap, making the video 10 times longer than it needs to be. You have answered so many questions i had about glazing. I am doing my first day ever using a potters wheel and I am so jealous there are schools out there where you can do this as a normal part of the school day. My school definitely didn't offer anything like this back in my day!

[@gluestick5759]

Fantastic learning tool! Your students are very lucky to have you.

[@KaransPotsAndGlass]

[@susprime7018]

The universal teacher, "be sure you clean that up." Nothing worse than coming into an art room after a messy artist. Fascinating class, lucky students.

[@TheMarnaiz]

That was astonishing! Thank you so much for being so generous with your instructions and advice. Really appreciated.

[@anymoose6685]

Your studio is so beautifully organized! The dry sanding makes me nervous about silica dust. It looks like just a small amount, but wetting before sanding off bits might be nice.

[@KaransPotsAndGlass]

Absolutely!! The only sanding is actually using a grinding stone, or sometimes my abrasive pads- and I normally encourage them to use water! I never allow kids to sand greenware- and when they use my grinder cart outside on their glaze fired pieces, they always use a mask!

[@cherileerogers1650]

This is far more than at the local community college! Great tip with a pencil for the wax resist.

[@melissalosos]

Karen, just so you know you have a whole fan club on Face book .. a group called, "Hand Built Pottery" everyone sings your praises often. Thanks for all the amazing videos, the amount of work it takes is not lost on us.

[@Gingy50]

I live in the UK and I'm a new potter. As a person with dyslexia I find it hard to understand and learn things, but not with you. It takes a special teacher to be able to teach in a way people with dyslexia can understand and you are one of those teachers. I would just like to say thank you, and thanks for sharing all your videos. The first video I watched of yours had me hooked and I new that that's what I wanted to try. I find the whole glazing a little confusing but I'm going to watch and watch again untiI understand a little bit more and I'm going to watch this video to see if it helps. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again and I most certainly will. Thanks again Karen 💖

[@KaransPotsAndGlass]

Wow, Lynsey- this comment means SO much to me!!! Thank you!!!!

[@keithlightminder3005]

Great teaching, nice and clear descriptions! Kids must be pressuring their families to enroll them! Lots to learn from you as a ceramics teacher! I hope the faculty and students recognize even a fraction of what a living library and exemplary educator you are. Come to Canada, great benefits, free medical, and you would make about 96,000$ CDN per year for all you offer.

[@mildagailiute9105]

This video is very inspiring and practical, Your's students are really lucky to have such a great teacher. I loved the idea of kiln ticket too :). If You will do some more videos in the future about glazing, perhaps You could include how to glaze coil pots or pots with crayons decoration. thank You for sharing with us.

Wish there was more on youtube for the historical glazes....love the blue shards I find in Maine from the old trash piles. The coins date my favorite trash pile to 1783 so the blue pottery shards should be roughly around that time period...never seen such a beautiful blue.

[@maggiedaly9714]

Thank you for sharing with the world along with your students becuse you didn't have to. Thanks for being who you are. God bless you...

[@FM-ij7iu]

Wonderful video. Wish you had mentioned it’s ideal to refine the surface of a piece before it gets bisque fired to avoid needing to sand and that sanding bisque ware should be done by wetting pot to avoid clay dust. It’s so hard getting people to break the bad habit relying on sanding instead of refining before firing. Without these safety habits clay dust is flying around the studio and settling into lungs.

[@KaransPotsAndGlass]

100% agree! There should never be the need to after bisque- alas my high school kids sometimes do!

Hello! I've been learnig so much from you. I wish I was a student at your school! Your class studio is so very nice, and well stocked. Can you tell me if it's alright to shake the small containers of glaze real well, or does it have to be stirred? Thank you 🙂

[@KaransPotsAndGlass]

The reason I tell my students not to shake the jars of glaze is because inevitably someone won’t have screwed the lid on tightly and someone will shake it. The lid flies off and the glaze goes everywhere! If you’re in your own studio and have your own glazes, you won’t need to worry about that! 😉
