Creating a Shoe Pattern for Making a Sculptural Shoe in Clay
This video is a step by step guide for my students in how we make patterns for our shoes for the shoe project in Ceramics I. We will be using soft slabs and coils to create these dynamic sculptures.
For starters, I tell the kids to photograph their shoes from multiple angles to help them when it is covered. (If they have shoelaces, this would be great time to remove them. Then, we place the shoes in the plastic shoe covers I got from Amazon. Here is a link for something like the shoe covers I purchased. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081SHCLKQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=karanspotsand-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081SHCLKQ&linkId=08b5c194759fc8e74e2a8ec5303020dc
After the covers were on, we covered any exposed area with a papertowel before we covered the form in masking tape. Once the tape has covered the shoe thoroughly, the students will draw the panel patterns on the tape, using the photographs they took as reference. Once the panels are drawn, then the kids cut apart the panels on the marker, being careful not to cut the shoe. Once the panels are cut, the kids trace the shapes onto copy paper, and decide if they would like it shrunk by a percentage.
For the great tools I used in the video (including the mudtools shedders, ribs, and kemper mini ribbon tools) check out this link to a live Googledoc I continually update with lots of my favorite tools on Amazon using my associate links! (also some non-amazon suggestions on here!)

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 29 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; https://www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsAndGlass
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!
