These are the pictures of my clay frames from before they were fired. The first picture was the original plan, but as it came out really wonky and scruffy looking, so I reshaped the pieces and did them brick by brick instead of in strips. I think doing it brick by brick came out a lot better, it looked a lot straighter and a lot more like what I expected.
I also tried making the frames as one big rectangle, cutting the middle out. It turned out well, but looks slightly uneven, and the centre is too small.
With all of the frames, I imprinted the unfired clay with a concrete block to give the clay more of a stoney texture. Pressing down softly made slight imprints, which was what I wanted, so it turned out quite well.
