Multiple Pinch

Primary Ape  2.75in x 2.5in x 2.5in Clay and Glaze

For this project we were instructed to make a structure that incorporates 5 different pinch pots. These are present in the tail, the ears, the head, and the body of my sculpture. 

The clay I used was really wet, and so it was tricky to make things smooth. I've had a lot of trouble with making things smooth so far, but I think I will be able to get better at it eventually. I realized after I fired the figure that I never ended up adding arms and legs as I had intended. I think it looks ok without them, but I do wonder what it might have looked like with limbs.

There was a point in the project where I had to stab a bunch of holes in my little guy, because I forgot that air pockets will make the guy explode. Other than that, there weren't really any problems, it was pretty chill. The only thing I would change is that I wish the underglaze I used wasn't as dark, but it's ok, I think it's still vibrant enough.
