This is my first pottery artwork.

We were pretty restricted as we had to do something in this precise shape to learn the basics, and this is also my first glazing so I had no idea what it'd look like when finished. It is a pen/pencilholder, and it portrays a baby/fetus. I glazed it two times and carved out the shape of the baby in-between, but the second time some of the glaze caked off, so that's why it's so dark at some places. It kind of looks like shading though. I also forgot to carve out the shape of the hairlock the second time so it's almost covered in glaze... durrh.

Media: stoneware, vellum blue glaze (double dip)
