Horse hair pottery!!!

Thanks to very good website Pottery about, I discovered a technique that I would have never imagined (although I have not tried it). To make it short : you use horse hair to leave decorative marks on pottery. More info here. Have you tried it yet? If so let me know and send me some photos! #ceramichowto #pottery #mouldmaking

Still learning how to throw.

I started by making cylinders, then I learnt how to make lids for my cylinders in order to make boxes. Then I will gradually move on to other kind of shapes.

Learning how to throw

Here is a method to make multiples quickly in ceramics : press moulding. Those two videos, one by Alan Paulson and the other one by the Musée Départemental de la Faïence in France, give you an overview of how to do so.

Making a plaster mould for slip casting

In this video Alan Paulson teaches how to make a plaster mould for slip casting. This one is a drop out mould (one part) but I will be posting later on a video about how to make several parts moulds. #mouldmaking #plastermould #ceramictutorial #ceramics #alanpaulson #ceramicshowto #crafts #handmade #makingceramics #pottery #unique #videotutorial #vessels

Image transfers on clay technique

I am increasingly looking at how I could add patterns and drawings onto my ceramic pieces, especially for my jewellery as I have a few ideas in mind for my next collection… Here is a video by Erin Furimsky called ”paper stencils and underglaze transfer” demonstrating how to create handmade transfer paper and how to apply the transfer afterward onto clay. #erinfurimsky #transferontoclay #ceramictutorial #ceramicshowto #crafts #diy #handmade #illustration #makingceramics #potte
