Artist:Peter Karner

I like the pattern on the pot.

He uses lines and shapes to form patterns on the pot to make it appealing

I like how the pot looks really old and antique like.

It also have different colours of the same shade.

This is the making of a pot on wheel.

Art lesson

During the first clay lesson in class, we learnt how to slice the clay using a wire clay cutter tool.We were told to cut a certain amount of clay and knead them to remove the air bubbles.

Next we split the clay into equal halves.We were told to put one of the halves into a wet towel do that it will stay moist.
                                                                                       

 After that we pinch the clay as shown at the 'process of pinching.'
Then we pinch till it form half of an egg shape with smooth edges.
Once we got the bowl shape, We used a needle clay tool to score (criss-cross) the top.This way the glue stick can easily stick with another clay.
                                                                                    

Then we do the whole process for the other half of the clay till we get the same shape. 
After that we'paste' them together.
                                                                                    
When the two halves join together it forms an egg shape with uneven edges.
Then we use a spatula to make the egg shape smooth.
