I have spent a significant amount of time testing different texture making techniques. Favourite elements in bold.
Picture 1 - stabbing the clay with a metal brush to create small holes, creates a similar finish to the volcanic glaze
Picture 2 - tapping the clay with a broken saw blade, varied organic texture
Picture 3 - groves created with metal brush flattened with wood, creates a less mechanical result, more like a grain in the wood
Picture 4 - scrapping metal brush, a bit too mechanical
Picture 5 - the mechanical circle creates a contrast to the organic texture created with a metal brush, flattened with wood
Picture 6 - ragged edge created using slip
Picture 7 - layering of slabs of clay softened with metal brush texture (not flattened)
Picture 8 - slip transfer onto textured clay
Picture 9 - surform doesn't really create texture, either removes or drags the clay
Picture 10 - small sawblade created a tight mechanical grain, not very appropriate
Picture 11 - large sawblade created a looser mechanical grain, good at creating initial texture but not the final outcome
Picture 12 - slip brushed onto slabs and then combed with the large sawblade, good at bringing an organic element
Picture 13 - metal brush, too mechanical
Picture 14 - burrs left from scrapping the clay creating contrast
Picture 15 - metal brush, becoming less mechanical, but not correct yet
Picture 16 - scratching at different angles with metal brush
Picture 17 - additional slabs, scratched at different angels with metal brush creating something more organic
Picture 18 - clay removed, creating holes and then scratching with metal brush, becoming more organic
Picture 19 - hitting clay with large sawblade, flattened with wood
Picture 20 - mixture of adding and removing clay and scrapping with metal brush
Picture 21 - organic crack in slab
