54. What is Leather-hard Clay?


Listen Later

Leather hard clay is when the clay has dried a little but is still wet enough to work with.

Clay is very versatile at the leather-hard stage, stronger, and less prone to breakage like bone dry pottery (also known as ‘greenware’). 

In this episode, I explain what leather-hard clay is and all the amazing things that can be created with leather-hard clay! From building slab pots, etching decoration and slip trailing, to turning the base of wheel-thrown pots and more!
