[Nfb-krafters-korner] Pottery?

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi Tracy and all! 
 Luckily, I’m working with a team but it’s a 3D modle of Mount Everest. 
 

 
Blessed be!!!

> I think I'd make flat slabs, create the features on them, then carefully "glue" them together with slip, if you want a raised model.  You can cut in gullies, and pinch up small ridges, or hump up big ridges. You have to be careful, when you lift up the slabs, that they have not dried so much that they crack.  That can happen even when the clay still feels pretty wet.

> Today, my team and I decided to make Mount Everest out of pottery instead of 3D printing. I got some advise on pottery. I have little experience with it. What is the best way to work the clay into a modle of Mount Everest? I heard you can build Mount Everest with your hands during the so called wet stage. What is the best way to shape the features of the south route? I’ll forward the list of features. Is there any other advice regarding pottery? I’m a total novise at it. I’ve only made one cup out of pottery in my whole life and that was when I was around 13 years old.
