Hand Crafted Bowl


Recommended Posts

I have an advanced ceramics class at school, I was pondering making my own bowls. However, I would need to pass it off as something else, like, an insense burner or something. Any other ideas of what I could say it is?

I'd go with something cooking-related. Like maybe say that you use it like a mortar and pestle, but it allows you to extract juice (hence the holes). This could be pretty believable, especially if (a.) your teacher/prof has never seen a hookah, and (b.) you actually make the pestle to go with it.

Is this a class for high school or college? I can't imagine a college course caring what you make if it's for legal use... high school is a completly different story though... I would probably go with an incense holder/burner. The instant light coals are usually referred to as incense burners so why can't the bowl be an incense holder.

Known pot-heads in my art class were making bongs... can't imagine you'd get into much trouble for making something for smoking tobacco even if you are a young'n. I feel old now >.<

Oh, forgot to mention: make sure the glaze you use for this is safe for food/smoking. There's this glaze we had called "pewter," looked a lot like metal when you were done with it, but it contained lead.

Yea, most gunmetal, pewter, or cobalt blue glazes contain led or other chemicals. Since this is a high school class, I have to be careful about making things, so I guess that an insense burner is my best bet.
