Ceramic Plant Pot Design

Ceramic pot design

“We have reached the end. We can already say that we are true lovers of plants and ceramics! Remember that ceramics and plants require observation, patience, perseverance and respect for the times. I encourage you to investigate the plants that grow in your region, to inquire about the needs and care they require and, from here, design a special pot for them. Next, we will review the steps that I have followed to prepare my final project, a bonsai pot. You can follow this same model to practice, but you can also make another of the types of pots that we have seen in Unit 3 of the course. What you prefer! Prepare the iron Work the plate by rolling the roller over the clay until the desired thickness is achieved and the plate is completely smooth.

Separate the parts of your pot from the iron [/ b] Taking advantage of the templates, cut each part using a punch on the plate.

[b] Shapes the clay sheets Place each plate on the rolling pin to shape it. When it's the shape you need, let it dry. Repeat the process with each of them. Gather the plates and assemble the pot Allow time for the clay to have the necessary consistency. Then put a bit of slip on the edges of each plate and mount them on the base. Final finish Let your pot dry completely. Then it is time to put it in the oven for cooking and then apply the glaze to give it the final finish. When you have your project finished, upload photos in the forum as I have done! We look forward to seeing the final result and the steps you have followed as I have done; surely we all learn from everyone. I also encourage you to ask and comment on the forum, it will surely be very enriching. I will be attentive to answer your questions, but be patient, I will try to respond as quickly as possible! I hope that with this course I have not only encouraged you to have more plants around you and create with your own hands the perfect pots for them, but also I have been able to transmit my love and respect for them and for the ceramic trade. A hug and much success!”
