Pottery

This year in art class, I decided I wanted to try working with new materials. The first thing that came to mind was pottery since I have never experimented with it before. After kneading the clay, I went to straight to the wheel and started on my project. I knew what I wanted to create, because Christmas was soon approaching, and I wanted to make something for my grandma that would be useful. Since my grandma is a smoker, I thought I would make her an ash tray, because not only could she use it everyday, but it was also something fairly easy that I could make. This is how the ash tray turned out after it was put in the kiln and glazed.
