Hi everyone,
I thought I’d just share an artist I’ve been finding very helpful, I found on YouTube – I’m quite a visual person, so with art techniques I benefit from watching people showing how to complete something in person. Rather than trying to read the text, as I can get quite a bit confused, especially when it’s a new art technique and/or medium I’m not familiar with.
I think this artist is a high school teacher also, and I found her videos very helpful in her raising tips or things to avoid. Especially as clay is quite an unfamiliar medium to me.
I found the tip to aim for a thickness of a pinky finger in clay walls really handy.

The second video (below) – I haven’t got access to the grating tools equipment, but I think these would prove interesting and beneficial to use, when using clay in future.
Kind regards,
Ionia.
