Soft Pottery Making Tutorial The method is very simple

The soft pottery making tutorial method is very simple, you just need to prepare the required materials and tools, and follow the steps below.

Prepare the raw materials needed for soft pottery, including soft pottery powder, water and toner (optional). Soft pottery powder can be purchased in art supply stores or online, and choosing the best products can make the works more beautiful and durable.

Mix the soft pottery powder with an appropriate amount of water as directed on the package. Be careful to add water little by little, and observe the state of the mixture while stirring, so as not to add too much water and cause the soft pottery to be too wet to shape. The mixture should be soft and malleable.

Next, knead the mixed soft clay into an even dough. You can start by dividing the whole dough into small pieces and rubbing them one by one. Doing so ensures that each small piece is subjected to even force, making the soft pottery easier to shape.

Now start shaping the shape you want to make. You can choose to use tools such as hand pinching, molding, or carving knives to help shape your shape. If you need to mix the color, you can add the right amount of toner during the rubbing process of soft pottery, and then stir it thoroughly.

Once you're done shaping, you can trim and retouch it with some tools. For example, use a small brush to wipe off unevenness on the surface, or use nail clippers to trim the edges. You can also carve textures or add ornaments to the soft pottery to make the work more interesting.

Place the made soft pottery works in a ventilated place to dry naturally. Since it takes a certain amount of time for the moisture of soft pottery to evaporate, it is necessary to wait patiently. Usually, drying for 24-48 hours at room temperature is complete.

If you want to speed up the drying process, you can place the pieces in a dryer to dry at low temperature for a while.

The method of making soft pottery is simple and fun. All you need to do is prepare the materials, follow the steps, and use your creativity and imagination to create beautiful and delicate soft pottery pieces. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist, you will be able to easily get started and enjoy making soft pottery.
