I started trying to weave clay today. It is so different from weaving leather because of the plasticity of the clay. In other words, it keeps mushing.
I was using using low fire clay without any fibre added. I tried working very quickly and loosely with thin strips and handled them as little as possible.
I also tried using strands of different thicknesses. So far I like this the best, but the small strands crumbled. I would like to try it with paper clay and see if it cracks less. Also it would look cool with a slip-soaked knitted strand in the middle.
