[Clayart] different clay

[Kathy Forer]

This is really great news for me — I  feel free now to do what I need. I can mess around with more equanimity, without fear. 

My large clay attachment technique is more along the lines of mixing and compressing — scoring back and across with all my fingers dug deep into the clay, bashing and melding the pieces, then remaking the form. Perhaps like adding fresh soil to a garden, it needs to be dug in with a shovel or garden cultivator. 

Thanks Mel!
