  • In this tutorial pottery session, I'll show you How easy it's to carve a dry clay pottery with common and simple tools. It's a fast ceramic craftsmanship technique to had details on your handmade pottery, and obtain unique decorations. With a small, dry clay pot as our canvas, and equipped with essential ceramics tools and a keen eye for detail, we commence by sketching our envisioned design onto the pot's surface. From there, employing precise carving clay techniques, we delicately sculpt the relief pattern. We refine the edges and carefully retouch any imperfections, we start by smoothing the dry clay to obtain polished pottery. This process demands simple tools for carving and sculpting the clay, you don't need expensive pottery tools to achieve this craft pot. Unlock the secrets of ceramic decoration and the world of handmade ceramics through pottery carving techniques on bone dry clay.
    Pottery in fine white clay, fired at ±1250°C.

    It is a training of patience. You make awesome bonsai pots, do you also grow bonsai trees?

    • @Greg-ceramics
      @Greg-ceramics  Рік тому +1

      yes, in the beginning I started pottery for my own trees... But ironically, pottery takes up so much of my time that I have neglected my trees a lot!

      @@Greg-ceramics it does take a lot of time for sure. I'd love to see how you matched the pot with your tree at some point if you'd like to share it. It would add another great layer to your videos, most bonsai artists have to rely on other's creativity and find the best match for their tree and here you can make it just the way you want. That is so cool!

    Excellent work! Did you wait until the pot was completely dry to start carving? Looks like it is well beyond leather hard.

    • @Greg-ceramics
      @Greg-ceramics  Рік тому +2

      on this pot I started before the pot was completely dry (between dry and leather), but you can also do it when the pot is dry.

    Why is my porcelain clay so hard almost impossible to carve once its dried?? Everywhere i see it on the internet, ppl are able to use their tools to carve through it so easily

    • @Greg-ceramics
      @Greg-ceramics  3 місяці тому

      It's strange. Even though porcelain is a little harder, you should still be able to sculpt it with sharp tools.
      Perhaps it is a particular variety of porcelain? Maybe you should just use another clay for sculpting

      @@Greg-ceramics it's an air dry porcelain clay that I use. It becomes so damn hard to penetrate through with my knive tools. Which ones do you/people use?

    • @Greg-ceramics
      @Greg-ceramics  3 місяці тому

      ah ok, it's an "air-dry" clay... that means that when it's dry, it's in its final form, that is to say hard. It's not really porcelain then (porcelain must fire at 1300°C).
      Most of the clays you see engraved are high temperature firing clays, when they dry they are still crumbly.
