how to make the crater texture

[@EarthNationCeramics]

You Potters are probably going to get a few episodes of this texture on a finished body

I saw this on a few mugs a few months ago and tried it!! It is sooo much fun and the finished pieces are great!! I am a hand builder so I rolled out a slab and allowed it to dry a bit for doing tests on with different tools. That really helped since I had never done anything like this before. I did accidentally dig too deep on one mug and ended up making it into a candle holder! Lol. I found that if you swipe while leaving your thumb on the pot it gives you much more control!!

I’m obsessed with this texture at the moment too. Well actually I’m kinda obsessed with texture full stop at the moment

Can’t wait to make clay confetti & a cool mug too! Thanks for the tips!

[@KatAtkinson]

I bet it would look great with a floating blue! Thanks for showing how to do this

❤❤❤❤❤amazingly fun!!

[@jennawhitecloud5680]

actually, just make a slab and practice on that to get the feel of your tool and the tension, direction, pressure, and shapes that you like...then make your mug and use it. As a beginner, I found that out quite quickly cuz making that mug is WAY longer and harder than messing it up with oops texture.

That's sculpture talk.

Thank you for the amazing design.

I did this to a mug last week in my pottery class and I am so excited!

I have a question....Do you wait or can you directly use this tool on clay?

[@noramuldoon]

What tool are you using to crater? Xiem s/m/l loop, maybe?

[@bentimberfalling]

[@mikapekoyama6583]

watching him toss around his piece gives me so much anxiety lmao

[@Alexander-rq9he]

It’s quite hideous 🤮sorry

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Don't be sorry, everyone's entitled to their opinions. Even the minority who don't like it 🤷‍♂️

[@Alexander-rq9he]

@@EarthNationCeramics My God you’re kind. I just struggle to get pieces as nice as yours..(before you carve them) ..so I just gasp when I see that! 🙏❤️

Remember, the glaze will be transformed by the texture.
