Sample: Creation of A Pot
PROCESS OF CREATING A POT
A pot is a curved container which has a smaller opening on top and has a bigger surface
which holds it when you’re are cooking or can support it to hold water. Pots have been in use
by most people in some pars of Africa and Asia like Morocco and China. In some, many parts
of the world people still use them for different reasons like putting flowers and so on. My love
for different cultures inspired me to think of something that could satisfy my passions and
love for culture so I settled on a project to make pots.
The first step on this project was to identify the materials I would need and so I outlined a
collection of materials I would use. Clay was the main component so I gathered a sufficient
amount of clay and bought watercolors for painting. Of course, I had to get a painting brush
for my art works and a needle. After ensuring all materials were ready I prepared some water
and mixed with clay to give fine dough. When the dough was ready I started by making the
first pot into a bigger, round shape curved at the base and smaller on the top.
I successfully managed to make a pot that could be used for cooking. I used a needle to
decorate it as applied the colors with the brush when it was still wet. After successfully
making that, pot I heat it under the sun for three days and it was ready for use. My first pot
was used to keep water and it could amazingly keep the water cold for long, which was such
an achievement!
My first experience was beautiful and this has inspired me to maintain my culture.
