Ceramic pieces I have made

I made a 10 stamps and a pinch pot with 2 sides.

Things I hoped to learn during this project how to make the texture of the first pot. I also wanted to know how slipping and scoring would work, so I hoped to learn that during this project. Another thing I hoped to learn was how to paint the sakura tree onto the second tea pot without messing it up. After this project I did manage to successfully learn everything I wanted to learn. There were better ways to have made the first pot, but I'm still pretty happy with how it turned out. I changed the type of tree for the second pot later on to make a design to work with the small Pooh bear, and it turned out pretty good as well. I was really happy when none of my foots fell off after the first firing, meaning I managed to do a pretty good job with slipping and scoring.

After making the pots, and after firing them, I realized the walls were a little thick, but that helped keep them from breaking. The shape of the pots could have definitely been better and more smooth, but they still look very good regardless. The smoothness is very spot on, there aren't many rough edges, but a lot of things are uneven. The texture of the first pot could have been done differently and could have turned out a lot better, along with the second one, but they achieved the texture that I wanted. The color for the first pot was a little different than I was expecting, but it still ended up looking really cool. The same goes for the second pot too, but it looks a lot better. The interior is actually pretty smooth and works well, but everything could be done better since most of it is pretty rough. Both pots stand up without any support or anything like that and have good stability. The foot for both pots are the same, but they both work out really nicely.
