Davy Jones

I chose to make Davy Jones out of pure nostalgia. We were assigned to make animals/mythological creatures. I knew he would be a good challenge. I had been wanting to make him before I even began my Intro to Handbuilding class and this was my chance.

Step 1: Make basic form

Step 2: Hollow

I knew he was going to be gigantic. I could not bear him being only decorative. I have tons of decorative things at home and not much space at all. So I decided to make him a cookie jar. This made by leaving his shoulders intact and hollowing out from the bottom.

Step 3: Add tentacles

Step 4: Add some barnacles

Step 5: Make the pirate hat

Step 6: Bisque Fire

Step 7: Final fire

Step 8: Cold Finish
