67. Creating a Body of Work Pt. 1 – How to Get Consistent Shapes

The Mud Peddlers: Ceramic Art Behind the Scenes

Lindsey and Donte begin their 2-part miniseries about how and why to develop a body of work – or, how to create a series of pieces in your own style, in less art school terminology.

In Part 1, they share their tips and techniques for getting consistent shapes. They talk tools, efficiency, and experimentation…as well as some risque anime tropes…

Do you struggle with making consistent shapes? If you’ve been able to get some consistency, what’s one tip you’d share with someone trying to improve?
