Clay Models























I started my second year at Mary Ward by making some shapes in clay to give me inspiration. I found I liked the shapes I could make from rolling out the clay with a rolling pin and then forming an abstract shape by rolling, throwing or dropping the resultant clay sheet. Some were fired and one has so far been glazed with a metallic finish. The glaze took 3 coats and had to be set on blocks in the kiln as the glazed bottom would have glued it to the kiln surface! Sorry.
