This is Jeffery, he is a pinch pot creature. It looks like a turtle bowl. It has the bottom carved out because it was to thick and was going to blow up in the kilm. A skill I used in this project was first making two pots then molding them together. One element or principe of design most emphased in the creature was the shell of the turtle that draws your eye with the glazed colors. I used my hands to form the shape of the turtle and it was balanced out when I had to carve out the bottom. The skill created something interesting because it went from a blob of clay to a turlte with feet, tail, head, and a shell.
