Creating Curves with Clay with Martha Grover

Presenter: Martha Grover

Martha Grover demonstrates how she creates her signature curvy forms from wheel thrown and handbuilt parts. She begins by explaining the four basic components of  each of her pieces then combines those components in different ways to create six examples of her elegant forms (plus a bonus project!). In addition, Martha explains her meticulous glazing process. And, although she loves the soft, seductive nature of porcelain, Martha’s techniques can be easily adapted to any clay, firing range or decorating style.

    I LOVE these pieces! Question, if maybe I can get an answer! Any tips on how to cut and get EVEN cuts on the bottom to get even height on the feet! I tried the bowl and is tricky, I end up cutting too much trying to even the curve between the feet of the bowl. I will keep trying.

    Thanks,
    Nancy

    Enjoying viewing lots of your wonderfull videos through clayflicks
    I have a question though: how is it possible to acces the extra material that is on the dvd, like recipes for the slib or glazes used ? I was not able to find a link to these sections.
