I am a full-time potter and retired healthcare leader. I’ve always been drawn to the art of making pottery and inspired by the natural world around me. I find wonder in taking a lump of clay and making something that is not only functional but bears the marks of its creator and eventually takes on the memories of its owner; like that favorite mug you reach for in the morning.
About the Demonstration
AI Overview Carving texture into clay involves using sharp tools to remove, impress, or manipulate the surface at a leather-hard stage, creating contrast, depth, and tactile interest. Techniques range from fine, detailed lines using needles or V-tools to broader textures made with wire tools or scrapers, often enhancing glazes that pool in the carved areas.
