Clay

During the summer I have been going to the Wapping pottery school to continue to try out new techniques with clay.From using plaster molds ,Slab building ,coil pots , carving  and slip trailing to name a few.

 A good resource for learning techniques and much more is Ceramics arts daily ;  Here is the link :
