  • This is how to create dorodango finishes using a variety of different textures and colors.
    / dorodango
    Is a great place to share what you make, I'd would love to see it.
    You might be asking what is this? here's a link to Wikipedia all about dorodango.
    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorod...
    The introduction to the film shows the refining and processing of clay. There's plenty of information about how to do that, but there's a link below as well. I usually use already refined clay from local pottery supply stores. You can also buy it online at the link below.
    Powdered clay on Amazon:

    How to process your own clay:
    www.instructables.com/id/Find...
    Other materials:
    Dirt/Clay
    I used the local soil here in Arizona. Your soil could be completely different ratios of clay, sand, silt, and organic matter. You might try doing a jar test on your soil to help identify what ratios of clay, sand, etc.
    Sand
    The sand was from a local sand and gravel yard, but sand from Home Depot or your nearby park would do just fine.
    Straw
    Most people don't even use straw so it's totally optional, I'm using rice straw chopped and screened through 1/8 hardware cloth or screen, but you can use various other fibers such as cut up strings, hemp fibers, dry grass, and many more.
    Screens
    Sifting can be helpful to process your material, removing rocks and larger debris. It's good to have various sized hardware cloth from the hardware store. Kitchen strainers can work as well as window screen.
    The Core
    Most people don't start with a dry core, but I find creating a base first that doesn't crack or fall apart to be a bit more reliable. If it's too rich in clay or silt you might want to add sand to reduce the expansion or, add fibers like straw to hold it together. If the soil crumbles and doesn't hold together, then it's probably too rich in sand, silt, or organic matter, and you probably want to add more clay.
    material index.
    Hand Polished
    There are many ways to polish clay, but one of the funnest is to just use the friction of your skin and a bit of elbow grease, this can become incredibly shiny.
    Screen Texture
    To achieve a good result it helps to add fine aggregate or marble dust with the clay, to achieve a thick layer over the core that doesn't crack.
    String Texture
    Fibers or strings doesn't really matter and a dusting of clay might help to polish it up.
    Stamp Texture
    You can use any sort of object to get interesting results. The sky is not the limit!

    I polish using a very soft cloth... I do mine really old school, like how I did when I was a kid. I've never seen them done this way, outside of using the top of the jar to help round and smooth the surface, but before I ever did that, I learned to make them using my hands alone and only a soft cloth for polishing with fine dust. When it came to making the "core" we would just use soil that had been highly trampled so it was a very fine dust...I was taught different as a kid by my grandfather, we didn't add clay over mixed soil and straw. So, it's interesting to see another technique. :)
    No matter the technique used, these are really beautiful! The wabi-sabi of some of them, I just love it.

    Thank you Sir🙏 from this old Aussie lady, you have inspired me to build a home for my husband and I. Watching your builds and wall treatment clips has taught me that, this method of building is a ‘meditation ‘ of construction resulting in a grounded Healthy living space as opposed to a ‘stress build ‘ giving us a toxic space. Your spaces are where I see myself CONNECTED with the people around me and Mother Earth, give back to our land and be able to afford a whole house by saving on labour and a lot of materials.

    Top quality film making, editing, style, your choice to keep the sound natural with very little unnecessary noise, all to create a beautiful end product. I am a painter. I came to see the textures. Will be implementing many of your techniques into my work. Is that your mom in the other video? I'm guessing you got at least some of your excellence in everything you do from her. You should all be proud. You are artists and fine storytellers. Thank you so much for sharing. Your work is so appreciated. I hope you guys continue your work together. In my idealistic mind, I hope you all as a family figure out a way to stay on your land, creating beautiful works that you can sell and spend your lives happily together instead of working some horrible nine to five job. Best of luck to you all!
