Clay ideas
Just some ideas for things you could make Just some ideas for things you could make with your clay – remember – BE CREATIVE!with your clay – remember – BE CREATIVE!
A basic coil pot
(The bottom of the pot can be a slab - a flat, rolled-out piece of clay-
that's cut into a circle)
Score and wet each coil, and then smooth the insides so that the pot
doesn't fall apart in the kiln!
Smooth the joining coil so that you now have a perfect sphere!
Now you can add your cute bug eyes, and other features.
How about a bird? – this one was made by using 2 triangles for the beak
Remember to poke a hole in his body, so that the hot air can escape
during firing
The furry texture is added using any tool, such as a toothpick – you can try out different tools or objects to create textures and patterns
in your clay sculpture.
Lastly, you can add pieces to a flat surface (remembering to s & w of course). This is
called 'relief' work.
