I guess it looks a bit naff so far in the raw clay, but believe it or not this is the beginnings of an incense burner. The coiled section is the lid and will double up as the snuffer. It's a variation on a simple pot we were shown how to create in the first of my ceramics classes. You basically create a form in solid clay, slice through with a cheese wire to form a lid, then after it has become leather hard, hollow out the inside.
It is still very wet, but once dried I intend to fire it with some kind of metalic glaze for the lid and a matt blue for the base.

Or:This is just one of the required exercises on the course. I don't see myself making a habit of producing a lot of pot like objects:¬)
Tomorrow I'll be starting a sculpture which is more within my comfort zone:¬)

Cheers Bob. I think the jury's still out though. I'll see how some figurative stuff turns out:¬)
Thanks Chichi:¬) I'll keep experimenting.
