Clay Castles

I took pottery classes from a good family friend who had a kiln when I was younger. It was in these classes that I built a castle. That castle sat in my room for years and there were little things about it that bugged me--like the one turret that had to be added within a matter of minutes, and the blob of clay that randomly ended up in the corner of my castle during the firing process.

About seven years later, when I took the high school pottery class, I decided to build another castle and see if I could make it more to my liking.

I think I improved upon my methods, don't you?
