multiple pinch pot

I am calling this project "Jewelry Holder" because it is what I will be using to hold my rings and necklaces. This is a practical-use piece of art, based off of the idea of a multi layer set of pinch pots. I chose to created this specific work because i need a jewelry holder, and I thought it would be fun to make my own.

For materials I used white clay, my hands, and a shiny glaze. I choose white clay because I like how much more aesthetic it is, compared to the dirty looking red clay. I used my thumbs to pinch the clay into little pots.

While creating this work, I paid close attention to how smooth my clay surface was. I wanted my work to look neat, but handmade and full of character. I stacked my pinch pots so that they would make a multi layer object when together. Though I struggled with making my pinch pots the same size, I actually like the abstract qualities of different sizes. Through this project I learned how to build a sculpture from something as simple as a few pinch pots.
