a little evolution of acorn jars 🤎 this ceramics class session i learned how to make lidded forms, and i’m on a quest to making the perfect acorn jar to stash my acorn collection in :^) the tiny pinch pot was the first, the one on the left was the second, and the right was my most recent attempt! 🍂
