This demo will show how wire can be used two ways in your clay work. The first is to augment your work with wire where clay cannot be used, such as for whiskers for kittens. The second examples are in using wire to help your piece serve a function, such as an embedded loop for an ornament.

Use of NiChrome wire in your work even survives the gas kiln! The limits of wire will also be discussed and shown.
