Intervention 02 : Experimentation with clay

As my second intervention, I wanted to interact with the clay which I had sourced two weeks back, as a way to investigate the similarities and differences in the material.
Drying process :
After processing the clay, I left it out to dry naturally. It took around a week and a half. I kept checking until it was almost dry. At one point, it looked like pure chocolate :)
Excited to experiment with it!
To make the clay usable and to even out the drying process without cracking, 20% sand has to be added to the clay before making objects.
