Want to make a jack-o'-lantern that doesn't turn to moldy mush? Or what about creating gorgeous, long-lasting decor for Thanksgiving? Let's make a pottery pumpkin!
In this video, Seattle Pottery Supply's Becca Headline demonstrates how to throw a clay pumpkin on the wheel (complete with hand-built stems). Once you have your pumpkin, it's your choice whether to fire it as-is, glaze it with color, or carve it into the ghoulish ghostie of your imagination!
If you want to make your pumpkin into a jack-o'-lantern, you'll want to carve the features in the leatherhard stage. Enjoy!
In this video, Becca uses SPS Fool's Gold clay with SPS Klamath Brown for the stem.
