This video shows the process I show my students to make wheel thrown enclosed spheres, and transform them into pumpkins as they begin to firm. I have another video on making a wheel thrown sphere if you would like to review it here: [ Ссылка ]

Also, if you would like to see how I show my kids to finish these pumpkins, check out this video: [ Ссылка ]

If you are interested in the wooden tool I am using for making the “V groove” of the pumpkin ribs, I have these handy tools among others in my shop! Here is the tool link! [ Ссылка ]

Check out your local pottery suppliers- I love my favorite local supplier- Cornell Studio Supply in Dayton… give them a call, they’re super helpful! (And tell them I sent you!) [ Ссылка ]

For the great tools, materials, and suppliers I recommend check out this link to a live searchable (control F) Googledoc I continually update with lots of my favorite tools on Amazon using my associate links! [ Ссылка ]

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 33+ years, and I have been teaching for over 30 years, the past 23 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; [ Ссылка ]

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!

I am in a partnership with Skutt - as they sent me the new wheel to use for the videos! I am not receiving any compensation from them beyond the wheel.
