Handle attempts using the pulling technique.

Attempt #2 at throwing. No picture of Attempt #1 which the cover blew off so it was bone dry and cracked at the bottom.

Trimmed bottom, its a bit uneven. Had a hard time centering it the first time around since the bottom was still too wet. Left it in the sun for twenty minutes and it was ready to trim.

Tried copying another artist and saw that they first paste in the eyes and then built around it. But it didn't really look like it so I just started doing my own thing.

Added a mouth and eyelids to make the cat look angry.

Smoothed out all the features and added ears. Not sure if they'll stay though.

Base of the mask. Its more on the flat side, needed help forming the nose and muzzle area.

The original plan was to cut out the eyes and then add in new ones that stuck out of the mask but the inserts didn't fix well or look nice. In addition, the clay inserts were probably too hard to add on.

Eyes cut out and rough carvings added to the side.

Ears added on. Don't have a picture of the original ears but they were too small and long.

The final product. Additional etchings have been added to the forehead of the mask along with etchings going down the face.

Back of final product, carvings added to the back of ears and edges rounded out.

This is a demo. It was my first time using the slab method to make something. Wanted to go for a design with lots of triangles. The goal was to have more open space than clay. This holder is roughly 3 inches high and 1 inch wide.

This is the template I made for the tool holder. I stuck the template to slab of clay and traced the design. After the template was removed, I cut away the excess clay.

(Sorry of the lack of photos) The general shape of the tool holder was achieved using the slab method. This involves taking a stiff mass of clay and rolling it out into a uniform slab to be cut.

Assembling and curving cut slab. All of the larger spaces have been cut out so that it would be easier to take excess clay out before the slab is curved. Some of the smaller triangles were left in and poked out once assembled.

This is the final product. Although it has some noticeable cracks, most of them were filled up with wet clay. The slip and score method was used to connect the two sides and add a bottom.
