Construction:
To make this piece I first rolled out a slab of clay for the base and the cut from the slab the wall of the bar. I then carefully placed all of the stools and the bar with the man sitting there. I had to be careful but also quick because I had to get it into the kilm. in the end I wish I made it more smooth
Reflection:
​I would say that overall It looks like a pretty good piece, but I will say that it dose look a little rushed, because it is. I'm happy with it, I just wish I was more carful and painted the entire thing carefully. when I was making it I wish that I smoothed it out and made it better.
