CLAY!!!!
3 basic Handbuilding Techniques!!
"Handbuilding" is working with clay by hand using only simple tools, not the pottery wheel.
Before potters had the wheel, they were creating beautiful pots and clay forms using clay,
their hands and fingers, and basic hand tools.
Today, we will practice and study
the three most common forms of creating
hand built pots: pinchpot, coiling and slab techniques
Slab!
Place two strips of wood on canvas a little further apart than the width of the finished slabs. Working on a textured fabric will leave imprints on the clay slab. Place clay on the cloth between the strips of wood and roll out.
Coil!
This is the technique of building ceramic forms by rolling out coils, or ropes, of clay and joining them together with the fingers or a tool.
Pinch Pot!
"Pinch" in ceramics is a method of shaping clay by inserting the thumb of one hand into the clay and lightly pinching with the thumb and fingers while slowly rotating the ball in the palm of the other hand.
How was it made?
Today's objective!
I will be able to recognize and create the three clay handbuilding techniques.
Tomorrow we will discuss...
- slip and score
- tools used for ceramics
- kiln
- glaze
- Clean Up Procedures for clay!!!
Today's Objective
Slip and Score!!!
Score and slip refers to a method of joining two pieces of clay together.
First, score the clay; this means that you make scratches in the surfaces that will be sticking together.
Then you slip it; that is you wet the surface with some slip, using it like glue.
Next, you press the two pieces together.
If you do not slip and score, the pieces will likely pop apart when they are fired.
