Face Pots

The first pots I made specifically for use as planters (they have drainage holes) were two face pots. Both built with coils, one has retained the coil look and the other has been smoothed out. When they first came out of the kiln after the glaze firing I wanted to throw them out immediately. There were pinholes in the glaze on one and the glaze ran and left funny streaks on the other. Plus they were godawful ugly.

Generally, I am unable to throw any finished pieces away, so they survived.  Now I like them because they are performing their roles plus they look so much better with hair on their heads.
