Woodcarving

Woodcarving by the fire. Intending to make a mold for clay tiles. Some clay marbles are in the fire to see how that goes. They were a bit damp when I put them in so I'm expecting a few failures, but I've tried to ease them into it.

I've also enlisted a potter to do a firing for me, wont be able to get more than one before Saturday.

Pots made from clay
0- batch 1, pinchpot
1- batch 2, pinchpot
2- batch 2, coil pot
3- batch 3, pinchpot
4- batch 3, coil pot
5- batch 3, pinchpot
Batch 3 is from the green bag. All are cracking and fracturing when worked. Adding water helps this bit Simon said the stuff has too much silt and isn't plastic enough.

These pots will be left to dry, and some will be fired if I can get a kiln.
