Chattering is a neat method of trimming wheel thrown pieces in which the trim tool bounces during the trimming process resulting in a textural repeat pattern. I am using tools designed for chattering which were sent to me by Artisan Pottery Tools- but you can successfully chatter using regular trim tools and adjusting your angle of trimming to be more extreme to gouge, and also by holding the trim tool more loosely toward the end of the tool for less stability.
This video is possible because I received the chattering tool from Artisan Pottery Tools out of Manitoba. www.artisanpotterytools.com/ is the website to find the tools. Contact information: Phone: 204-901-4520 or artisanpotterytools@gmail.com

I am using Laguna B Mix cone 5-6 for these bottles, throwing on my Skutt classic wheel using my Giffin Grip Mini.

I made this video for my Ceramics II, III, and independent studyI students at Mason High School. 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 35 years, and I have been teaching for over 33 years, over the past 27 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 KZread 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!
