I am a full time high school art teacher with a philosophy of producing my personal artwork is a critical step in my teaching process. I am able to teach students from my direct experiences- successes and failures. All of these have made me the accomplished potter I am today. I have a YouTube channel with instructional videos I make on working in clay- check it out to learn more! https://www.youtube.com/user/KaransPotsAndGlass
I am really leaning to doing large custom orders recently. With my time being scarce to be in my studio, I would like to make all my time really count, and be able to work on specific orders rather than just general things for sale. Although I do plan to keep up my lines of mugs for our National Parks, among some other things.
I make wheel-thrown and some handbuilt stoneware pottery (and occasionally glass jewelry) to add beauty to the simple moments of life. I hope you enjoy the pieces I make- and if you have a request for multiples of something, just let me know! I have two distinctive lines of glazes that I do- one being the sgraffito line which is hand carved and labor intensive, and the other line includes several colors of Coyote glazes. The Coyote glazes are rich, food-safe (as sold by the manufacturer- I have not personally tested them) glazes that are a joy to make and use. I most often use USPS Priority Mail with insured shipping. I have a wide variety of glaze colors and combinations I use... so if you see a form you like, but not in the color you want, let me know!
If you are local and would like to see me to avoid shipping costs... just send me a message-(prior to ordering!)- and I can change the listing! :-) Also, if you want me to require signature with the delivery, please message me upon ordering!
All of my "PINK RIBBON" items will have at least 50% of proceeds going to Breast Cancer Awareness and Education... as a survivor myself, I want to raise funds, while showing my support in a beautiful way! Some are more than 50%!
Enjoy the handmade EVERYDAY! :-) Karan

About KaransPotsAndGlass

-
Unloading a kiln load of ware has to be my favorite part! The firing transformation creates gorgeous glaze surfaces!
-
After pieces dry I bisque fire, then dip glaze. (unless sgraffito). After glazing, I fire again, to 2220 degrees.
-
Wedging the clay- preparing for throwing! Recycling clay takes a lot of time and muscle!
-
Trimming and handling always come after throwing. This often takes much longer than the throwing process due to details
-
Throwing is my favorite part. I just love the magic of creating a form so quickly from a spinning lump.
Artist and Teacher... spreading the love of the handmade!

I am a full time high school art teacher, and I create my own pottery in my home studio. I have a Youtube Channel with instructional videos on working in clay. I love to kayak and hike when not in my studio or hanging with my family or friends!

Frequently asked questions
Will I accept returns and exchanges of pottery items?
No, due to the fragile nature of pottery, the return shipping is at risk of cracking the piece- that's why I give so many detailed photos
