Two terracotta pinch pots = a giant Malteser

After making a pinch pot, we progressed to making two pinch pots the same size, and then sticking them together to make a ball. Since I was using earthenware clay, I couldn't help thinking my brown ball looked a lot like a giant Malteser. I resisted eating it, however, and instead cut a wavy line through it with a wire. I proceeded to puncture lots of holes all over it and then, once biscuit fired, glazed the top half with turquoise glaze and the bottom half with transparent glaze. The idea is to put a tea light candle inside to see the light shining through the holes. It sort of works.
