3D ceramics and Other materials I used to make towers and health and safety notes

Equipment

• Clay
• Sugar Paper
• Rolling Pin
• Clay Knife
• Small Loop Tool
• Rib and Scrapper
• Modeling Tool
• Cut-Off Wire

Method

1. First I made a cuboid out of clay and then I started to shape the clay into a letter L

First attempt did not go to plan

2. I then made another cuboid, but then this time I left it till it was slight leather-hard.

3. Then I cut out the letter, but this time a different letter.

Better this time but still looked messy

4. I then made low relief clay tiles of the letters.

5.I then rolled out a slab and a folded it into an L shape.

6. and then I added a hole in the bottom and cut an angle

Health and Safety

• A damp sloth needs to be used to wipe surfaces clean instead of using a dry cloth.
• Never shake aprons or cloth and wash them regularly.
• Work with clay in a well ventilated area.
• Spillages of material should be cleaned up straight away, but vacuumed not washed or wiped.

Other materials I used to make towers and health and safety notes:
Metal work
wear gloves because when bending the metal there is sharp part so it can cut you.
Felt
