With this piece I struggled with the clay staying on the PVC pipe after throwing it because it did not want to stick to the paper. Another challenge was not knowing how much clay to throw because it couldn't be too thick or thin. Overall I think the project was successful but one thing I would change next time would be using a different kind of paint to throw on the clay. The clay absorbed the liquid watercolor paint so fast that it made the colors more pasrel than what I wanted. This piece is a vessel because i made a vase out of clay. It could hold any objects and is completely functional as long as water is not put in there, due to tiny holes.
