CONSTRUCTING MY CLAY TOTEM

We learnt techniques such as the Pinch, Coiling, Slab and Mould techniques to put our clay totems together. I used the slab technique to put my totem piece together, so I had to measure out some cardboard and cut it out so I could make my slab pieces. I rolled out some clay and put it on my cut out piece of cardboard. I then flipped it over and cut off all excess clay to produce a shape like this:

I then cut out my base and top and put a little 2.3cm hole in the top and bottom of the clay piece to put onto our teams totem pole once it was finished.
