The first day of class for crafts students involved the smack of clay hitting the wooden worktables and making a musical vibration thoughout the second floor of the art building. Molding wet soil into wedges is the average start to any project in a clay studio.
The first day of class for crafts students involved the smack of clay hitting the wooden worktables and making a musical vibration thoughout the second floor of the art building. Molding wet soil into wedges is the average start to any project in a clay studio. The wedge is achieved by pounding and rolling the material into cone shapes until the molded lump is warm and easy to shape. This method rids the clay of air pockets that can cause the material to crack when it is put into the kiln.
