process complex combined pinch pot birdfeeder birdhouse

Today I showed the class how they can draw on to or should I say transfer a drawing using water-soluble marker on paper and then applying it to the Clay

I also show them how they can use stencils or templates for cutting shapes

I then began to draw my design that I carved with the thistle it is a symbol of a fissile which is the Scottish flower

I kept it covered up to have it dry slowly and when it is leather hard to hard leather hard I will do the finishing touches
