The next project we were assigned was to make a vessel. I looked on Pinterest and was fascinated of the vessels that looked like an animal. I focused on this one that looked like a whale teapot. I totally could do that! The shape was easy to do, the only trouble I had was with the tail/handle. I thought my teapot would look really cool if it looked like it was spouting out water. So, I added some water drops around the rim.
After my pot was fired I went straight to glazing it. I decided on a light blue for the whale body and a dark blue for the water and it's eyes. I added multiple coats, but I thought the light blue glaze would be thicker after it was fired. I still really like it, but if I could add a couple more coats of light blue it would look amazing.
