CERAMICS

A workable plastic substance-clay...

mud in a creekbed...a vessel in our hands

The Recipe

Choose the clay, knead, shape - use coils, slabs,

a mould, hollow or throw on the wheel.

Now add a skill or two - join and refine,

attack, create and decorate!

Cut, carve, incise, model or press.

Dry and cook. Then add some colour.

Spray dunk,glaze, pour or paint for strength,

waterproofing and a bit of shine.

Now fire again, such a rewarding tranformation,

and so professional!
