r/clay

I took inspiration from the greatest artist under the sea himself!

Made these cats but they hang sideways 😭😂 how to fix they have been dry for so long

I call these guys Bummer Nuggets and Mini Morons.

People adopt them from time to time.

Rick and Morty’s my favorite show. i’ve sculpted them out of clay so many times it’s like muscle memory now😭

Obsessed with making these little gnomes. They are taking over my home, these are just a few of my new friends.

I want to start making art with clay, but I dont know what to buy. I want something thats soft and easy to blend with itsself (less cracks and stuff). Just something that looks like the ones in these pictures I found on Pinterest.

What kind of clay do I want?

Took me about 4 days.

I’m new to clay and this is one of the first things I’ve made, a little jewellery or key tray. Maybe a holder for glasses? Anyway I modpodged on some illustrations from a favourite children’s book of mine. I really like how it turned out.

To commemorate Olivia's "drop dead" release, I made a miniature clay art of GUTS crumbl cookie ⭐

So 'obsessed'

I made the sculpture with the desire to express how I feel late stage capitalism, has not only devoured any way to live comfortably, but also assimilated religion into something horrendous. :(

Dunno why the left one's face broke but It kinda suits her so I don't mind it;)

I just finished for my ceramics class and I’m a bit upset about how the eyes came out (it was my first time trying this technique). Rather than that I think it’s cool 👍🏼

It's the first time I try to do the details with a kind of border. I found that it resembles the shape of the original Pokemon quite well even tough it looks a bit sloppy, I hope with sanding paper I can fix it, what do you think :)

Hi everyone!

I need advice regarding health and safety for a small ceramics workshop!

I am putting together a ceramics workshop for my dormitory, so far we have some throwing wheels and we are in the process of purchasing a kiln. But I am already getting worried about the health risks, and considering canceling the whole operation unless I can come up with some solutions.

The workshop room is in the basement of our dormitory, so the ventilation situation is not ideal. I know that the clay dust can be harmful over time. Would it be sufficient to just wear a mask while cleaning up? We work in small quantities only once a week, making little stuff like in the picture. I would also set up a sink trap for waste clay, but besides these things is there a health risk I am overlooking?

Any advice is very much appreciated! Thank you so much in advance!

hellooo !

I made this window for my little incense burner house, but It turned out bigger than expected which i dont like . I’d appreciate it if anyone could suggest an idea to cover it while still allowing airflow. I thought about making something with wooden sticks, but I’m not really sure how to go about it, and I guess i can't use clay cause the house is already dry .

(Please don't judge the bent chimney lol ,it's my first clay project sanding it didn't make much difference )
