It's time to get your texture on! Whether you use thick slips or tools to impress (rolled up tinfoil, fancy texture tools, a simple knife or pin, car mats, baking rolling pins, we've seen it all!) you can create textured surfaces for many reasons. Are you creating a sculpture that needs a bit of gnarl? A mug that needs that final touch? A plaque that needs personality? Texture might be just what you're missing!
Throw something that needs two parts! Less along the lines of a double walled vessel, think more jars, teapots, strange sculptures, just make it small. As small as you can!
Handbuilders, it's time to switch it up! Do you avoid sculpting because you can't get behind abstraction, or struggle with form? If you can 't be bothered with mugs, have too many bowls, and are bored of vases, now is the time to push yourself to try something new!
Do you have too many lad or ladies littering your house? Strange critters or creations piling up in the garden? Objects calling for silent consideration on all you credenzas? It's time to make a mug! Give that perfect breakfast bowl you've been dreaming of a breath of life! Make a weird critter that can contain flowers!
