My Pottery Throw Down Challenge Week 7

The remaining potters on The Great Pottery Throw Down build animal water features as their main challenge in Week 7.

Didn’t really fancy building a huge structure so I challenged myself to sculpt an animal head. I’d been promising a friend to make a bust of his chihuahua dog Bette so the timing was perfect!

This is really out of my comfort zone doing anything with animals, It’s only the third time I’ve sculpted. I’m probably my harshest critic but I found the scale and proportions so difficult. It’s not 100% accurate but I’m pleased overall with the result. Plus pushing yourself and learning new techniques is always positive.
