I do not pretend to teach something to someone, but I saw that the internet was very helpful in understanding better the material that I love so much, I decided to write some posts on the working with clay. I attended two courses, read books, trawled sites and youtube ... but mostly I tried and tried ...
I call myself a self ... I learned something important over time, working on the wheel, it is necessary do .. even if little, but do ... in short, have consistently ... working fairly regularly you can not get good results ...
not necessarily need to have a lathe to make a vase or a bowl, there are several techniques to make our creations ... today I will start giving you directions to make slip in a few words, a clay-based adhesive for joining our songs, we start ...
To get our slip just use scraps of clay, if you do not have them small pieces and fry
dry. The important thing is that the clay is well dried. I put aside the differences, so they have plenty of time to dry.
Then simply cut the clay into small pieces and put it in a jar by adding water to cover it. Let so until the clay is dissolved, I usually just prepare me over, so if you need is ready to go.
When it's time to use it without fear, the container is inverted to remove excess water, will also fall a bit 'of clay, but do not worry , what we need is ancorat at the bottom of the jar.
The will slip consistency
of a cream, after we removed the excess water to give a more mixed before use.
In commerce are different clays, for all we must prepare a slurry .
I seem to have everything written in the next ... days will begin to prepare photos for the next post where you explain (my way) a bit 'of techniques.
lot of creativity to all of you:)
