Creating Clay Pieces

First I made a pinch pot to become familiar with the clay. We were also introduced to coiling and slabbing. I used coiling first to create a piece inspired by my investigation with the cones.

I used slabbing to create smaller cones. I used a plaster mould of a cone to create them.


I really liked making the cones and finishing them off. I poked holes into the top of them so I can string them together and create a wind chime. I think I will use both Raku and underglaze to make designs on them.
