Roberto Lugo

How are decorations used?

Decorations are used to make the piece personalized and unique. Some ways you can do such a thing is by combing, the process of making lines either by dragging a tool through the clay, or wiping wet slip clear, to show the under surface.

Faceting 

Faceting (facET ing) is another way decorations are incorporated into clay pieces. This is the process of cutting away strips of a pots surface, using a knife, razor, or a wire tool.

impressing 

Impressing is simply using an object or tool is pushed into the clay, to make an imprint- just like we did for our clay houses' windows.
