Explain how you constructed your pinch pot project. What steps did you take?

- Elements: Line, Plane, Mass/Volume, Form, Space, Color, Texture
- Principles: Unity/Variety, Balance, Emphasis, Contrast, Rhythm, Repetition, Proportion/Scale
Reflect on your projects in at least two sentences: If one of your works did not survive the kiln, what do you think went wrong? What might have caused the explosion? If both survived, what are you proud of? Would you do anything differently next time? Was anything unexpected or more difficult than you thought it would be?
