First pinch pot

I'm pretty new to ceramics, having just started this course a few weeks ago, so my work is not that great (yet) but hopefully will show my progression as I get better.

We made a lot of things in the first few weeks when learning - but not perfecting - new techniques. Those pieces have proved really useful, not just for learning the different methods, but also for testing out different glazes and seeing their effects.

My first piece is a pinch pot, made from earthenware clay, with honey glaze on the inside, which comes out a rich, dark brown on earthenware. The outside is glazed with tin white, with copper oxide on the etched pattern.
