In this video I’m going to try my hand at something I have no experience in…and that is working with clay. In my previous videos, I have shared skills where I have had some knowledge, however I’d like this to be somewhere I can try my hand at new skills too.
It was my partners Birthday earlier this month and I thought it would be cool to make him a chess set out of clay.
This year I wanted to challenge myself to share some of my textile knowledge and to try my hand at some other crafts. I hope that it may encourage someone to try something new. Making brings me so much joy and I hope it can do the same for you.
