Playing in Clay

I like switching between different media from time to time. Each media has it’s own strengths and weaknesses, and the change in perspective keeps it interesting for me.

It’s been awhile since I’ve worked in clay, so I thought I would try to create some painting/tile type characters in clay. My idea is to paint them once they are fired, so the finished piece will be a hybrid painting/sculpture.

One thing I love about clay is the textures…of my tools, my fingers, of the clay itself. It should be a really intersting surface to paint!

It’s also fun to ‘build’ something, vs, draw/paint. I find myself using both hands when I work in clay.

If you are in a creative rut, maybe it’s time to try something different?!? Works for me every time!

stay tuned for updates!
