Brainstorm
- Draw 48 thumbnails (use the template below)
- Choose the most interesting 3 and draw them at a larger scale. Refine the forms further to to create balance and visual interest.
Develop
- Choose the most interesting one and draw it to scale - perfectly. This is your template for construction, any flaw will only magnify when you begin construction.

- Sculpt the final asymmetrical vessel to scale (5" x 12").
