Instructions

  1. Begin with two round, golf ball-sized pieces of clay.
  2. Shape both pieces into pinch pots, ensuring they are as close in size as possible.
  3. Score and apply slip to the edges of each pinch pot.
  4. Carefully join the two pots together smooth the seam to make it less visible.
  5. Use a clay rib, card, or any flat surface to refine the seam.
  6. Observe real fall foods for inspiration on texture and detail, incorporating those elements into your piece.
  7. For the finishing touch, refer to the colors of real fall foods and use Stroke & Coat glazes to mix the perfect fall hues.
