Add colour and texture to your PMC heart. Designed by Senior Teacher Rhonda Winterton.
STEP ONE
Begin by creating a copy of the pattern provided, placing the pattern under oven bake paper and drawing the design onto the oven bake paper.
STEP TWO
Use the syringe without the fine tip and begin by extruding a little of the clay out, touching down onto the pattern to lock the clay to the paper. Now, begin to extrude the string of clay slowly – lifting the syringe from the paper until you are holding it about one inch above the paper (applying even pressure to the syringe to create a continuous line of clay). The pattern is made up of four scrolls and four loops. Do one scroll at a time, then finish by doing the loops between each set of scrolls.
Design note: If you hold the syringe too close to the paper, the line will be too thin as well as smudged … so try to keep the tip away from the work.
STEP THREE
When you have finished the pattern, let it partly dry for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. When firm but not completely dry, add another syringe work onto the top of the first.
Let this stand for approximately 10 minutes or until it becomes a little firm (but not so firm that it will not take a pattern).
