Wow! The gnome is a big project! What clay are you using, and is your kitchen also your studio space?
Several years ago I was making little clay fairy houses & mini gnomes.

I have a separate studio not far from the house, but running ac in the heat is expensive, so i just work in clay in the evenings. Our log cabin has a big area that connects with the kitchen, so i can watch tv while i work.
I just use clay from the lady who teaches classes in Danville, VA. She has a red clay with grit, and a smooth white clay. I can get the names of them if you like.

Nice use of texture!

Thanks, at the art center in Bradenton, FL, they used to call me the queen of texture.

Thanks for the info, I was mostly curious if you are using earthenware or stoneware. I get clay at Clayworks in Richmond. I have a tiny workspace, also without ac or heat.

Looking forward to seeing your dragon and gnome all finished!

There is ac and heat in my studio, i just hate to run it since there is high electric demand in summer.
Not sure about type of clay, but i can ask.

My studio being delivered!
