Clay Teapot Assignment | Bugpot

~November/December 2021

Gr11 assignment where we had to make a teapot that didn't look like a teapot.

This was super fun. Sculpting is something I don't do often, but it's so cool.

Initially this was supposed to be fully covered in bugs, but because of time constraints I had to tone it down. I did consider making more bugs out of polymer clay to stick them on after, but I was too lazy to do that. M happy w how it is as is, too.

I sculpted the base to look like rocks/dirt and lowkey my teacher had no idea wtf I was doing but she just left me to it because she trusted the process ❤️

I was so scared that one of the pots would explode when casting and ruin my stuff, but we good.

Painting it was a bit of a pain because of all the nooks and crannies, but I got through it

Too lazy to take better pictures of this.
