Glazing Possibilities- 28 Different Approaches to Glazing Pottery!

This video is preparing my Ceramics students to glaze their pieces at the end of the semester.
In this video, I glaze 28 wheel thrown bowls. We use stoneware glazes (cone 5 and 6 midfire) on our Standard 153 stoneware, a nice midrange firing stoneware. I used Coyote brand cone 6 glazes and underglazes in the carved design grooves on a few bowls to keep the stoneware glazes separate when they fire. I now use Standard 125 which is a lovely cone 6 stoneware that looks the same as the 153~
Here is a link to the follow up video showing the final glaze results!! Here is a link to a Googleslide presentation (in pdf form) which shows the results- also viewable in the next video! drive.google.com/file/d/1MXUl...
If you would like to go directly to a technique, here is a list with timestamps of when those techniques appear in the video. Also, check the PART 2 video for the final results too: • Part 2 Final Glaze Re...

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; www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsA...
I started my KZbin 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!

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

[@catherineyoung3889]

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.

Wow, I love your glaze organization and labeling!! So nice to have details like the test tile, food safe, cone, etc, all right there on the label! Love it, and great video :)

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.

[@artisanaromatics]

Thank you so much for your wonderful teaching. As a new (and more than a little obsessed) potter, I can't tell you how much I've learned from you, and I SO appreciate it! 🌷

[@thatthat]

This studio is amazing. Can see a lot of love and hard work was at play to build it. Faith in humanity restored.

[@maggiedaly9714]

Thank you once again Karan; your organization skills for your students never cease to amaze me; not to mention all the wonderful tips and techniques you share, I wish you a wonderful Christmas with your family you deserve it. Looking forward to seeing the finished glazes on these pots.

[@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!

[@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.

[@ZinLumi]

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.

[@stormyweathers2498]

The possibility, the tools, the extremely well organized workshop and the variety of glazes you have, all is so great. Thanks so much for the tutorial!

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.

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.

[@williamdelaney5416]

You are so organized. Great video!

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!!

Karan, thank you for providing these excellent tutorials to the public! As a teacher, I know that you are busy, but I would like to know which black glaze you are referring to on #14: Dipping with texture with added glaze layer inside. I find the Coyote shino glazes to be fantastic, especially when layering one over another!

[@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 💖
