For our main project in the next course, we’ll be building tiny houses. They are a joy to make and can be used as tea light holders or as planters for succulents.
Use a variety of Hand-building techniques
In this project you’ll create a template for your tiny house. Then it will be slab built with texturing to replicate the look of different building materials. Windows, doors, and stairs can be created with stamps and sculptural details can also be added.
Texturing makes the architecture look realistic
- Use Rollers to make your clay slab look like a brick or stone wall.
- Imitate stucco with a bit of burlap.
- Create the texture of a Sussex tile-hung cottage with a grouting tool
With the right texturing, you can make a stone castle, a Victorian church, a Bauhaus block, or even a copy of your own house. Then, add some tiny sculptural details like a tiny cat or some tiny window boxes. OMG!
