No, not that pot. My pottery
They’re not works of art, but I made ‘em. Behold my first (and realistically last) collection of handmade pots. I took this picture with my iPhone, in my room with bad lighting, so it’s not the best.
I do have one final pot to bring home. It’s the best one I made. It’s the perfect size for a few pieces of fruit to sit in. I handled it so delicately tonight. I picked the perfect color combination — something pretty, but timeless. I have my fingers crossed that it comes out the way I planned.
It’s so rewarding to see the finished product of something you created from scratch. I did like taking this class. You get to see a process from start to finish, and you’re involved the whole time.
The neatest part is glazing. You can choose any color you like, but when you overlap them, they almost always make a beautiful color. And you’re not sure if it will work out either. There’s a lot of risk involved.
Reason being is that the glaze doesn’t look anything like the color you would expect when you’re dipping the pot in it. White looks red, and red looks like yellow. You don’t have to be perfect either. When the glaze runs over, it creates a crazy dripping effect on the pot.
Now, what to use them for? They are the perfect size for candy. If I have one big downfall it’s candy. Put a candy dish near me and the contents inside only have a few minutes to live. Then I promptly crash 20 minutes later.
