I hope it will be a very good competition for all, and I am sure all my students enjoy and explore new innovation and uniqueness when they will start pot making work on a weekly basis.

I am using utensils/equipments that already at your home it's saved your time and money...Happy learning...❣️
| Materials |
|---|
| 1/2 kg cement |
| 1 ,1/2 kg sand |
| Water as needed |
| 2 Plastic molds |
| Matalic septulla |
| Tape |
| Few amount of oil for grease mold |
Friends I divided procedure into main four steps
- 1 : Mold preparation
- 2 : Clay /materials mixing and fixing
- 3 : Let it dry then demolding
- 4 : Painting/final presentation
By first I took a plastic pot having little holes it's optional you can use with out holes mold as well ,I covered all holes by plastic tape from all sides of the pot infact it's our pot,s After dry the holes will give texture to my pot that's why I chosen it.
Grease the pots with tissues paper or any cloth piece applied evenly on the Inner sides of the mold pot and for middle hole pot from outer sides then placed the middle pot in the mold of the center as you see in picture... now the mold is ready . Now moved on second and very important step,the material mixing ratio of cement and sand must be 1:3 ,means 3 parts of sand one part cement .
Adding enough water for sand and cement mixture for mixture,we needed normal consistency mixture not to thick .
Incorporated the cement and sand mixture very well for that using spatula ,now the paste is ready applied on the all sides of the mold remains middle pot part .The mold pot filled with mixed then tap to settle or fixed for required shape.For weigh put water bottle and sand in the middle pot .That will removed after dried pot completely. The first step How I made cement pot through practical demonstration on my YouTube channel When everything fixed let it dry,set a side for 24 hours for complete dried .After 24 hours Demold the pot by using this technique.On the back of the mold poured hot water followed that tip you will easily demold the pot .
By first I slightly moved the middle pot first due to oil application it will easily removed and came out now I poured hot water on the back of the mold with in few minutes the pot demold and easily came out from it exactly mold shaped I got as I wants it's your choice .For beginners used simple without hole mold for quick demolding. Now we reached at last step.... painting 🖌️ on my cement pot ,I got the perfect defined shape and texture on sides of apple 🍎 shaped pot .I am sure you love it...
As a primer I put white acrylic paint then red colour after dried primer on my 🍎 shaped pot
