How to Make Mushroom Pottery? Read this first!

Mushroom pottery is a popular hobby with people of all ages. It’s a great way to be creative and artistic. When I make my own mushroom pottery the first thing I do is figure out what type of clay I will be working with. A project always depends on the choice of clay.

If I want to create something with a rough texture, coarse-grained clay would be best. Again, if one wants something smoother and shinier, using a finer grain clay will work better. After determining the clay, I decide what kind of shape or form it will be given.

How do You Make an Air Dry Clay Mushroom?

I needed a pottery wheel and some clay. We can use any type of clay, but I would suggest using soft clay as it is easier to work with. Next, roll out the clay so it’s about 1/8″ thick and cut out the mushroom shape. Then, we need to put the clay into the mold and press it down so it fills all the nooks and crannies.

Once that’s done, I smooth out any bumps or uneven surfaces on the mushroom cap with my fingers. I have to make sure there is no gap between the cap meets the stem.

I first start with a ball of purple clay, then pinch all the way around and press the edges against a flat surface. So, it’s like a dome shape. Then I started placing tiny pieces of clay on a mushroom with a toothpick.
