pinch pot: vase

To slip and score a pot is to scratch the surface of your pot and then apply slip (very watered down clay) to it. This allows you to attach something to your pot more securely and there is therefor less of a chance of it falling off. To make this piece symmetrical, I first off had to get the shape right, then I had to position the handles correctly, and finally, I had to make sure the design was even. The next step will be to finish the design on the reverse side and then to glaze.
