Thought I'd try to make another clay Apple on the wheel.
Just a bit of an ornament or you could cut a slot into it to make it into a money box.
Quite easy to make,just a closed in spherical shape with a bit of a stalk and that's about it.
And don't forget to cut a small hole in the base before firing it.

  • How much clay did you use?

  • @seigel I think it was about 20oz.

    Cheers,Dan.

  • Would it work to cut the top quarter-ish off, to make a lid so you can put things inside once fired?

  • @TheKasia110 That's a good Idea ! It would definately work,I think I'll try that next time.

    Cheers,Dan.

  • @ryanri123 If he let it dry and then poked a hole in the bottom if would be enough to let the air escape while in the kiln

  • Wouldn't this explode in kiln...? Since it's trapped air? 

  • i'm so trying this when i go back to my pottery class

  • i did this back in october, but I made pumpkins, all in one piece, just like this!

  • Itza... HUGE APPLE? OMG! AWESOME!

  • awesome *_*

  • thanks for posting this vid Dan! I've been making apples these past few weeks for a salt firing and i'm just now starting to experiment with other sorts of fruits... pears anyone? ;)

  • The Apple is an excellent idea for a bank, and the lid idea for a storage pot. A set of various sizes; you have canisters. How about some dents in the side, then you have a Pumpkin! Add a little leaf by the stem for an additional touch...

    Happy New Year Dan
