There are some forms in clay which I return to; one is
weaving clay. Last week I made a fairly large woven bowl or basket but it broke in several places so I smashed it to make more slip.
I did manage to keep a small woven bowl together. Since it's been so long since I worked in clay I find I'm a bit
out of practice with some of my techniques like weaving clay.

Anis Mojgani and I thought it was worth re-sharing. Happy Friday to you all. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Several people in our pottery class make woven clay baskets. They are really nice... and I've yet to attempt one. But I've seen a lot of them break in the kiln.
ReplyDeleteGood for you weaving clay...a pursuit I've just avoided like the plague.
ReplyDeleteLove the work - and admire the skill. And suspect that you will regain your 'bicycle riding' skills very quickly.
ReplyDeleteHi Rian, thanks, hopefully this won't break in the kiln. I've broken them carrying them to the kiln but never had them break in the kiln.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, it's a challenge to get it all put together before the strips of clay dry out, but a fun challenge to me.
Hi Elephant's Child, thanks, I am slowly getting back into the groove. Ha.
