A Potter’s Diary Part 2: Taking Risks

So moving forward from Lesson 1, I was now introduced to making my own clay glue which is called a slip. A gluey substance that allows you to glue your pieces together. In a way, it is similar to cement for clay.

So another creation was made a forest themed vase. But this was only the beginning that inspired my personal project. A ceramic clock tower with pendulum.

Onwards, a new technique will be introduced and I will also get a chance to see my already fired and read to clay pottery.

Till next time~

Welcome to Beamuse Designs— a creative space where curiosity meets intention. Here, ideas aren’t just shared; they are observed, interpreted and woven into stories that inform how we see, design and experience the world. Through reflective essays, visual explorations and design thinking, this site invites students, educators, makers and thoughtful wanderers to slow down, look again and think deeper about the connections between creativity, culture and practice.

Each post is a waypoint — a place to think, question and collect meaning — because good design starts with observation and ends with insight.
