I'm teaching a wheel throwing class on Thursdays now through the spring down in Bakersville at Arts Centered pottery studio. Today I'm going to demonstrate examples of texturing clay and incorporating it into thrown forms. These are some of my texturing tools that I like to use. I like to discover random tools that make interesting patterns. Sometimes the neatest textures come from the most unlikely found objects.This morning I was able to put my new glaze test tiles in John's kiln, so we're going to fire it off tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see where I get with this next batch of tests.

Love peaking in your toolbox - great texturing stuff.
Looking forward to your photos from this firing -- hope you get the colors you are looking for.
Thanks for giving some inspiration on textures. I especially like your stick collection - I haven't thought about that one yet! But what a good idea! I also like everything else you collected from nature!
