Ceramics: Mistakes

You picked up a wet greenware pot, too soon and now it has finger marks on the sides. Um...big deal.....so what?

You've just created a unique pot.Push it in some more :) Bend the neck around some. Make something artistic, out of it.

Oops tore the neck? Tear it some more! Curl the torn parts back toward the pot, twist it around....hey, you could even get rid of that part, all together.

So it isn't perfect, the way the mold should have formed it....all that. Big deal! Now it's a one of a kind.If you're using an artistic glaze, it will just actentuate the dents and mishaps. If you're painting on a design, you can use the dents and mishaps to help form a picture or shape.It's all cool.
