First was a tour around Clayscapes. It is so much bigger than it looked on video.

Started off the day making tiles. I made these freehand without a cutter and I'm really happy with them. Tomorrow once they've set up we are going to do surface decoration. Ultimately the goal is to make a wall quilt. I'm seeing these in my future with a hexagon shape. Going to have to buy a cutter for that though.




Then Jess showed us the setup for some of the surface techniques. I'm intrigued by slip trailing and see some pilchers slip in my future.




In the afternoon we made cups and mugs for surface decoration. I made a brand new form with a darted bottom that looks amazing. I also want to try it upside down for a case.
