Terracotta miniature pots

Small cute things always fascinate me. I tried something new today and would like to share with you. I tried miniature terracotta pots without the pottery wheel.

 To make these pots all you need is terracotta clay and your creative wings. Make sure you clay is moist, kneaded well  and without the air bubbles. Make a template of the pot shape you would like to make and cut 2 shapes out of terracotta clay. You can stamp the clay pieces or make designs for the added texture. Add the crisscross on the edges and then add slip for better sticking. That's it work slowly to merge the seams so that 2 pieces stick together.  You can be as creative as you want to add more designs on the pots
   

Templates I used to make these pots

Same technique can be extended to make lightweight hollow beads and some special customized shaped beads,possibilities are endless.

Enjoy Naisha crafting!!!!
