Why not give your pieces a different look by adding some texture to the outside, I did try a new technique by adding a continuous clay coil to the outside to see how it would look
Few tips I will mention:
Adding a clay coil to the outside can be a little hard to get it to stick on, a very good technique is to score the surface of the clay a little bit before applying. You can also pinch the edges of the clay coil to the wall using a wooden tool (like a wooden thumb) this a very similar technique to coil building
Another good idea is to let your thrown pot rest for about 10 minuets before adding the coil. This a will allow the wall to harden a little ad give it enough strength to hold up the extra weight
Now when it comes to drying, definitely do this as slow as possible, use a plastic bag to slow the drying time down as much as you can, this will allow the moisture to even out in the whole piece and minimise the risk of cracking, especially with the variations of thickness in the clay walls
If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask! We would love to help you with your glazing! 🤗
