How to make a pottery pumpkin

Want to make a jack-o'-lantern that doesn't turn to moldy mush? Or what about creating gorgeous, long-lasting decor for Thanksgiving?

Let's make a pottery pumpkin! In this video, Seattle Pottery Supply's Becca Headline demonstrates how to throw a clay pumpkin on the wheel (complete with hand-built stems). Once you have your pumpkin, it's your choice whether to fire it as-is, glaze it with color, or carve it into the ghoulish ghostie of your imagination!

If you want to make it into a jack-o'-lantern, you'll want to do carve the features in the leather hard stage. 

In this video, Becca uses SPS Fool's Gold clay with SPS Klamath Brown for the stem.
