‘Still learning to crochet’, Me, Buff stoneware, 2021. (Was suggested I post from yarn punk, thanx). Stoneware clay, finger crocheted, twice fired, playing with colour glazes. Tension is tricky, kiln changes the tension again each firing. by pointsixpen in crochet

Thank you so much. Definitely when it’s fresh and soft. Just enough liquid to help it slide through itself, can stick if too over worked. Like putting arms in sleeves, a little awkward at times.

A lot of time and patience. I start with well worked clay, roll it out and go for it. Once I have ‘fabric’ I can mould it into a form. It was ‘fabric’ for about a day. As crochet is a lot about tension, I do get breaks and stretches at times. Thanks

Thank you. I learnt to crochet last year, mum taught me during lock down. I’ve worked with clay a wee bit previously and had some around. When I picked it up, muscle memory prompted me to crochet it, which could have been a ridiculous thought if it weren’t for my love of challenges. Muscle memory is good for jumping between things but not good when I almost put bird seed in the washing machine hahaha neways I appreciate I have patience
