Step Four
Use a clay knife to cut out a shape.
Step Five
Textures can be created by pushing objects into the clay.
Step Six
To adhere pieces of clay together, score both joining sides.
Step Seven
Apply slip to both sides and gently press both pieces together. Run a modelling tool along the joining seam.
Step Eight
Add any final details and your piece is complete!
