Multiple Pinch Pot Project

For this project I was assigned to create a sculpture made out of multiple pink pots. For this assignment I create a large jar that also looks like a small flower pot with a flower blooming out of the top.

For the jar I started out by making two different pinch pots and combining them to create one large pot. then I created a thick lid with a little shelf on the inside to insure that the lid would stay secure on the jar. From there I began taking small spheres of clay and pinching them into little pedals. I then slipped and scored them and laid them upon the lid. From there I let it dry out in order to glaze it. It was then put into the kiln to be fired and finished.

Originally I had the idea of doing a teapot, however as I was create the large jar I thought that it would look cool to make a flower pot jar. Creating the petals and deciding on how I wanted to lay them out on the lid made this project a lot more fun to create. I am very happy with how my pedal jar turned out and it is something that I plan to use in my room
