Happy Holidays

 -Leather Hard - Clay which has dried sufficiently to be stiff, but is still damp enough to be joined to other pieces. - Bone Dry - Clay that is completely dried but not yet fired. Clay forms are most fragile at this stage. - Why is it important to connect slab work or trim pottery on the wheel when the clay is leather dry?

It is important because the leather hard clay lets the water go through the clay and connects it better so it will hold together stronger.
