Twisted Facets

2/10/2013

I've been really inspired recently by this potter on Instagram. He throws, cones, facets, and then re-throws clay so that the facets naturally twist due to the movement of the clay. It's pretty amazing and a lot more difficult than he makes it look. A few tips he's given on Instagram for if you try it yourself:
  • Stiff, non-groggy clay.
  • Pre-throw the form slightly to help the clay move more easily.
  • Push down and out with the first few throws or the clay may not twist much.
  • Relax and don't over think it.
You can see his work on Instagram as user @johnstonterrace and check out his website at http://johnstonterrace.bigcartel.com/.
