When I first started to hand build clay,
I used plain or textured clay slabs to construct my pots;
something I have come to call Clay Muslin.
I had no idea just how disconnected I would feel
from these pots once they got out of the bisque kiln!
Then I discovered I could go past this clay muslin stage
and make Clay Fabrics from the slabs.
This process allows me to see how my pieces will LOOK
before I even know what they will be.
Building from these clay fabrics
makes dealing with the bisque fired pieces a breeze.
