This week I started my first lesson in the ceramics workshop where we had to make some clay buttons. I have done some clay work before and I found this lesson a little easy but it was still enjoyable and productive.
My clay buttons
During this lesson I learnt a few techniques like how to stick pieces of clay together, cut out small holes and imprint textures into the clay. I also learnt how to make the product look finished bu smoothing the sides that I cut out down. We did have a tour around the workshop before starting and going through the regular health and safety.
I found that I quite enjoyed this ceramics lesson and I am looking forward to next week when we will be making clay insects. My buttons that I made this week will also have been fired in the kiln so I will get to see if they turned out well or not. At this stage though I believe they have gone according to plan.
