In a pottery class you might have a defined project to work on, but you can still experiment lots! 

In this episode, I talk about three ways to simply and easily experiment with surface decoration in a pottery class by;

✨ - Pressing an object into the surface of the clay

✨ - Making a bespoke tool to create a specific mark in your pottery, for example, fish scales! 

✨ - Leaving areas of your pottery un-glazed to create interesting colours and surfaces. 

The workshop that inspired this episode was run by Ruth Harris at Catkin Tree Studio. You can view workshops here: https://www.catkintreestudio.co.uk/events/workshops/
