DIY Faceted Clay Pot

by

Clay-Geometric-Bowl-TUTORIAL-11

The tutorial calls for air dry clay but go ahead and substitute oven bake (and where they talk about drying, bake the pot). The facets can be cleaned up to be sharper / cleaner with a good sharp knife and a little sandpaper after it’s cured. One of the tips she has in the tutorial, about leaving a facet particularly large so you can lean the pot that way, is pretty smart.

Make yourself a little row of faceted pots for the bits and bobs at your desk. Or do it from oven bake clay and use your pots for succulents. Even with the air dry clay, you can use your pot for her faux cactus pincushion which sounds pretty adorable. The tutorial for that is linked right in the one for the pot.

Looking for air-drying clay? We highly recommend Das Air dry clay, we have been using this product for over 30 years. Check out their Das White Air drying clay and their Terracotta Air drying clay version for a natural pottery feel. For larger crafts we recommend buying your air drying clay in bulk

The opening reception will be held on Saturday, June 25, 6-8 PM, and will be free and open to the public.

POP!’s focus on workshops and the materiality of polymer makes this boutique event more than just a conference. Each participating artist was selected for their unique perspectives on polymer and the exciting ways they are moving the medium forward. The featured instructor for the event is Jeffrey Lloyd Dever, whose pioneering techniques in polymer have made him one of the most respected artists in the field. His jewelry and sculptural objects have been shown in many national invitational exhibitions, and his works are represented in numerous private collections, galleries and museums.
