Independent Project Ideas
• You can use any handbuilding technique or combination of them.
• You can do wheel thrown work. (throwing- using a mechanical device, potter’s wheel, that turns/spins in order to form clay.)
• Or you can do a combination of wheel thrown and handbuilt.
Handbuilding Techniques• Coil- using snakelike ropes of clay; generally for making round forms• Slab- a flat piece of clay created by rolling a roller over the clay, or
pressing with hands; generally for making geometric forms with sharp edges
• Pinch- using the thumb and fingers to press a ball of clay into a hollow form
• Modeling- using your hands to manipulate clay into a form• Press Molding (drape or sling mold)- to lay a slab of clay over or into
an object to create its form (such as a bowl or balloon)• Extruded- clay that is forced through a die (die = particular shape)• Paddle- shaping a solid piece and then hollowing it out.• Slip-casting- pouring slip (liquid clay) into a mold to take the mold’s
form.
