Hi, my name is Saida Fagala and I am a ceramist. I really love my job and hope you will feel the same, especially when you have a finished work in your hands. I would like to start with hand-built works to help you get a feel for clay. Ill show you the slab, coil and pinch technique. I want to remind you, always give a good wedge to your clay. For joining the pieces of clay together you have to make a slurry (dry clay mixed with water or, for better results, try vinegar). In future lessons Ill also show you how to throw on the wheel, so I hope youll love making ceramics and my lessons. Good luck.
