Today was the first day that I had ever worked in ceramics properly. The guys down there were really friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, my cat character was still too damp to work with so placed him on a flat surface in the kiln room. Now I know in future that the air drying clay needs a couple of days and to be put in a warm dry place.
Because of the set back of having to wait longer for it to dry, I used the time to re create the character again. I felt like the character could look better and with making the candle holder and the bowl I felt I had more confidence with working with clay.
I ended up spending the entire day re-making the new character but I feel that it looks SO much better than the first one. I felt like I knew how to go about building it all up better. I've left it to dry over night in the kiln room so will check up on it again tomorrow.
