Assorted Carved Pottery Plates

The pattern was done with the tip of a church key. The piece has to be soft leather hard, if it's too dry the tool doesn't press in smoothly.

These were both done with the curved side of a flexible metal tool.

The same metal tool was used here but the cut was deeper and closer together.

The tip of the loop tool was pressed in lightly, then deeper, then lightly.

I used a small melon baller to scoop out the clay.

This surface resembles an orange. The surface was leather hard and I gently cut out small random bits with the smallest part of the loop tool.
