| Experimenting leads to sadness... |
I tried to form some large bowls, using pre-made bowls as molds. Whenever you use plastic or paper to protect the clay from sticking, it leaves a lot of texture. So, I tried it without. I knew better. But, I wanted to see if it would miraculously work. It didn't. The cracking started the next day, as the clay pulled away from the molds. Luckily, I was able to add water to the clay, and let it sit. A few minutes of wedging, brought it back to workability. Then, I rolled out some coils to make wall nests. Clay is going to be in short supply during this quarantine, so I need to stop messing around, and make. I've felt more terrified, than creative of late. Trying to use my time more productively will help to ease the fear.
