A No. 2 pencil may be standard fare for back to school supplies, but “standard” certainly does not describe this pencil holder! A Duncan Oh Four™ Bisque Wonky Vessel is distinguished with Envision™ Glazes for a fun and funky creation.
Instructions
- Wipe ware with damp sponge to remove any dust.
- Make light pencil marks to divide rim of vessel into 6 equal sections. Repeat procedure to mark bottom of cup, placing marks directly opposite marks on rim.
