In this session of my ceramics workshop, i was told to create a 'bug' out of clay.
To do this, i started making two egg type shapes, with a 'lip' at the back to attach them together. I then focussed on creating the 'legs' for my bug. To do this, i rolled sausage shaped piece of clay and cut them to the same size. I then attached them to the bug's body. To ensure that the body didnt 'expload' whilst it was in the kiln, i piereced a small hole in it, so the air can escape. After doing this, i added wings, eyes and spots to finish off my bug. My bug resembled a ladybird as it linked in with the nature theme.
I enjoyed this workshop as we were given a lot of freedom to do what we wanted with our bugs.
