How to Build Semi-Organic Shapes with Clay: Part 2

The easiest way to make semi-organic shapes involves using clay in wet and leather-hard stages. Professor Rebekah Bogard walks you through the entire process in a three-part series. Part One covers: how to avoid air bubbles, scoring and slipping, using a pastry bag to apply slip, tips on how to join pieces more efficiently, and best ways to use welding coils. Part Two covers: what leather-hard means, the importance of scoring and slipping (especially with leather-hard clay), how to properly put the pieces together to make a good fit, and how to deal with areas where you can’t add a welding coil on both sides. Part Three covers: how to make a hidden lid. Making hidden lids in ceramics is the easiest way to ensure a proper fit that looks pleasing to the eye.
