Clay

first clay lesson in art today lol
and we had to learn how to work
on clay for 2 weeks lol.

we learnt how to knead, pinching and
pressing the clay .

we must always cover the clay with wet cloth
to maintain the moisture in the clay

we always use the tools to score
to join two clays and add slip (wet clay)

we always plan on doing the clay structure
and try out new designs and experiment with the clay.

i feel that clay work is actually tiring and messy,
but when u use effort to make the pot, u will
be proud of the outcome of the pot work :)

1st sep

things i have learnt again:

we begin by doing the clay base on the wheel,
mark the middle of the base then cut it out to
remove excess clay. after i done the touching up
with the sides and the top being balanced,
then we use coil to coil around the base
but we have to score the base and coil, add slip
to the scores then stick around it, continue by 3 more coils
with scores then we use a tool to join them to together by
thick scores then use your hand
