This is our frankenpot which is 5 and half inches tall and 4 inches wide. I made the base of this project, Chloe made the middle, and LJ made the top. We glazed it with blue and green on the outside with some black glaze on the inside. With this project I learned how to attach multiple cylinders together on a wheel as well as making each cylinder all the same size so that they can attach. The slight increase in width (shape) from the bottom to the top helps make the colors of the glaze more appealing as it brings your attention to each layer of the project. The significance of this project is that it shows how multiple people can combine projects to make something even better.
