Day 3

Hanging luminary

I love to work with pink clay. 

It has 40 % of chamotte so it's a little bit hard to shape in the beginning

but when you get a grip on it it's quite easy.

Chamotte clay dries faster than the regular clay 

and sometimes that's really good thing, especially when you're

 impatient or you don't have time to wait for it to become the leather hard.

I added some decorations in white clay and after I finished with it

 the clay was hard enough so I started to punch holes. 

I wanted to do something simple but...

I was so into it that I exaggerated with all the holes and the texture in general.

 Not only that,

                                  I also added some manganese oxide to some of the decorations. 

                                           I intended this pinch pot to be hanging candle holder.

 I will leave it unglazed.

UPDATE: 
Fired piece without the decoration

I didn't attach them very well and this pink clay dries a little bit faster from the white
so it fell off in the process of drying.
Nevermind, it looks just fine the way it is.
