A flower inspired me to make this bowl. I liked the petals so I made the edge of my bowl petaly. I painted it a light purple because that seemed like a color that a flower would be. I tried to make the bottom of the bowl like a bulb of a flower. The flowers I liked were tuplips and roses and I tried to combine them.
To make this we used white modeling clay and I did a pinch pot type thing, and then attatched a little platform to the bottom. I then just kinda pinched it into the shape I wanted and when it had a lot of clay in one place I cut it off. After I made the little petal thing around the top by pinching it and shaping it into the shape I wanted. Then I took the cutting tool and cut it into an even width. After it got fired, I painted it with glaze that was a light purple, and I painted the green coat on until we ran out and when more comes in I'm going to cost the rest of it. I learned that clay is a lot more difficult than I thought. I probably would have made it smoother and less lumpy. I also would have made it a little more even. I might have picked a darker color but the firing is supposed to make it darker. I also learned the three s's.
