Re: ideas to design a pottery
you don't have to make a complex story, you can just do something simple like the example i gave you. Or you can just think of a pattern or design or an object you'd like to make. One thing you the pot is that what ever you make should go around.... meaning there is no front or back.
How about you first decide on what kind of material you are going to use... tiles, glass, beans, cinnamon sticks, pepercorn, mulch, etc.
Once you have choosen your material then make a design keeping in mind the material you have. Maybe first make the design on paper and then trace/copy it on the pot.
