  1. I think they all look so cool and it's similar because it's not plain/ordinary and they can all be any shape

  4. They are really different and super cool!! So far it doesn't seem even remotely similar to my free form clay work.

  5. Not similar. most of his free forms don't have a bottom, a starting point. looks like it just happened- they just appeared.

  8. i think they are similar because there wasnt a specific shape or form he was following, they just formed itself.

  10. I like his free form because it is very smooth and simple. It is a lot like our free form pots because he starts with a certain shape as his base and changes it as he moves up the piece.

  11. ive literally only been smoothing my clay sculpture, and it isnt even nearly close to how smooth those are. its unfair. Really impressive how they shape them to look so perfectly round.
