    104. Adding Sculptural Elements to Functional Work: “Usually I’m the tangible one…” Nov 04, 2024
    Show notes

    **Election Day is Nov. 5th! Go to Vote.gov to find your local polling place and do a democracy!**

    Lindsey and Donte discuss the many ways you can use sculpture to expand the way you decorate your functional ware (whether wheel-thrown or hand-built). There’s talk of clay types, sculptural techniques, and how you might avoid some common pitfalls – as well as some trickier territory like pursuing representative vs. abstract work and pushing yourself out of a creative rut.

    Do you incorporate sculptural elements into your functional work, or do you prefer more 2D surface decoration?
