Tea pot

First, I was making a teapot out of coils.

After stacking up the coils. I created a pattern where I created a water effect going around the teapot, So I smudged it and the other pattern was the coil.


MY TEAPOT WITH FIVE TEACUPS: My teacups are made out of coil to match my teapot's pattern.

THE FINAL OUTCOME OF MY TEAPOT:

Techniques I used: I used coils to create my whole teapot and teacups. 
For glazing, I used two different kinds of blue. I first dipped my teapot then as for the coils that shows in my teapot I brushed another color of blue. For my teacups, I brushed all of it.

Two Pinch Pot Combine

Made two pinch pots then connected them together. Then designed it by putting coils shaped as a flower.

The final outcome after being glazed:

First Pinch Pot

Me working on wet clay. I started with a baseball size clay.

From a baseball size to a plate that resembles the Sun.


THE FINAL OUTCOME OF MY FIRST PINCH POT:
