Episode 90: 3 Simple Ways to Experiment in a Pottery Class

In a pottery class, you might have a defined project to work on, but you can still experiment lots!

In this episode, I talk about three ways to simply and easily experiment with surface decoration in a pottery class by;

✨ - Pressing an object into the surface of the clay.

✨ - Making a bespoke tool to create a specific mark in your pottery, for example, fish scales!

✨ - Leaving areas of your pottery un-glazed to create interesting colours and surfaces.

The workshop that inspired this episode was run by Ruth Harris at Catkin Tree Studio. You can view Catkin Tree Studio workshops here.
