ceramics, sculptures, anything in the 3rd dimension, really

ceramics are super fun to learn, and once you get the hang of it, the feeling of just taking something from your head and making it REAL in your hands is amazing

clay is super cheap too, id say cheaper than dirt but it literally IS dirt.

ooooooooo 1) very cool creations!! and 2) i took a ceramics class in high school and it was awesome and ive been dying to get back into it. glad to know clay's apparently cheap!

how do you go about firing it though? do you just use your regular ass oven or do you have an actual kiln? buying a big ass expensive kiln has kept me from getting back into it but i cant say ive ever looked into alternatives before so im v curious to hear if there's an easy solution lol

i've been using my school's kiln to fire my shit. you could go to a local ceramics shop, if you have one, they might offer firing services. you could also go to a school with a ceramics department and ask if they'd let you.

i wouldn't know anything about firing your things in an oven.

here's 50lbs of clay for 32 cents a pound. id recommend sticking to manufacturer's websites when looking for good value if youre gonna order from online.

I found this little cardboard/paper mache skull at a thrift store, so I got some fake flowers and painted it to look mossy. I haven't glued the flowers on yet but I plan to eventually.
