give better suppot and quicker drying

JOHN BRITT’S LOOSE YUNOMI wonky CUPS

Centre partially then flip it upside down and start pulloing the cup

Don’t try to centre, try to be crooked as possible

Squash the sides in randomly

Now push the wall out – it will not look uniform one bit

JOHN BRITT’S 2 PART MOULD MAKING (USING BONES)

Use some metal flashing

Spread out with a brush to ensure it covers the bones completely.

Plaster 1 cup water

3 cups plaster (wearing dust mask while mixing)

Put cup into bucket first. Then add plaster.

Blend with blender till lump free.

To speed up the drying process add some finely ground already set mould plaster – liquid soap the bones,

pour the plaster over. Now drying takes just 2-3 minutes to harden. So work quickly.

Remove the flashing and remove the clay.

Duct tape around the flashing to pour in plaster. Now brush the new plaster half of the mould with liquid hand soap /oil (slower plaster sets)

Place the flashing around the plaster half and pour the plaster in.

Line and Myth

Naturally glazed ware – potash feldspar in the clay body turns into a glaze at high firing

Enough cups to last a lifetime

How to use use the onggi wheel like a banding wheel

Start with a ball of clay just like beginning a pinch pot

Smooth edges with chamois

Keep the wheel spinning to continue shaping Using the wooden rib to shape the inside and compress the bottom to prevent s-cracks

Trimming the base – freehand, gives a lovely handmade look!

UNUSUAL WAY OF LIFTING A WALL

Here’s a 3 minute drawing tutorial by Cardboard Furniture from youtube - Everytime you wish to draw what you see you need to ask yourself a couple questions….

WHAT SHAPES CAN YOU SEE?

There’s about 10 basic shapes to remember. . . .

Ca you recognise any letters or numbers in what you’re seeing – it’s a bit like copying what’s on the blackboard

Part 2 – How to Draw 3D – shading?

How do you draw what you see with pencil so it looks like a photograph?

A useful tool is a television. Change the colour picture until its in black and white.

Draw the letters, shapes and numbers you see. Now number each area.

Now colour in each number according to its darkness or lightness.

Divide the greys you see into 5 groups. Zero = white 1 = lightest grey 2 = middle greys 3 = darkest greys but not quite black 4 = Blacks

Now if you want to turn your picture into colour – you can use any colour you like – just so long you’ve mixed the correct NUMBER 0 – 1- 2- 3 or 4 it will look 3D
