My second day at Cuppas, the consuming conversations workshop! Today in the morning I focused on experimenting with different building techniques and creating texture in the clay.
I tried different methods of joining pieces of clay, like on the finger and I played around with recreating different primary sources.
I used a scoring tool to try and make scales, and this is a texture I may use if I decide to create a monster under the bed character. I tried gouging out different amounts of clay for different textures.
In the evening, I was lucky enough to try using the pottery wheel for the first time! It was a challenging activity that definitely takes a lot of practice to master, but I had a really good time trying to get the hang of it. I managed to create a pot with the help of Elaine, and I hope to practice this skill in the future.
