SLC-S26/W6 | "Coloured Pottery"

It feels so special to reach the last week of this pottery challenge. Each week has been a trip of literacy, experimenting, and enjoying creativity. For this final week, I tried to make commodity simple yet various, using the guidance of our educator.

My Pot Making Process

1- White cement
2- water
3- plastic bottle
4- plastic mold
5- Acrylic colour
6- brush
7- Oil
8- Blue and yellow colour for cement
9- Scissor

Step 1 Mold Setup

I chose a plastic bowl mold for that coloured pottery which is very suitable for my pottery and greased it smoothly with oil so the pot could be doffed without damage.

Step 2 Mixing Colours in Cement

I took white cement in a bowl and added water sluggishly until it came a svelte paste. This time I experimented with two colours together Blue and yellow. When I mixed them, it gave a bright fresh shade that reminded me of spring.

Step 3 Drying

I poured the admixture into the plastic bowl mold and placed a plastic bottle in the middle for the concave space. I left it for about 10 hours to dry duly before removing the mold.

Step 4 Decoration

After drying, I precisely tore away the plastic mold and removed the bottle. The pot looked fresh with its blue-yellow mix.

For decoration, I used acrylic paints for attractive look. First I used dark blue in the bottom of the pot and top of the pot and then I cut heart and diamond shape on the paper and using acrylic paint of different colours I draw hearts and diamonds shapes.

Eventually, I placed artificial pink flowers inside to match the theme.

Final Look

The final pot turned out cheerful with its blue-yellow shade and metaphysical design. It feels unique because of the colour combination, and I cherished how the flowers bettered its look.
