Squat pot!

I hate how lumpy it looks.

I like the way you shape your feet that is a cute pot. I made my third pot and it has less lumps but the feet are bad. I guess I'll have to go to a candle shop for molds it's great now that thanks to you I don't have to break them out of the clay

I go online to get ideas for paint designs but I like the creativity of your pots. You don't need anything from the Internet it is in your head. Lol, I am having so much fun with these pots & Neos.

Unless you absolutely have to have a smooth surface, I don't see a problem. If it has to be smooth, can you sand it after baking?

There are ceramic styles that are lumpy. You can add textures, too (cross hatch with a fork, dimple with a fork, etc). Can you add sand for that grainy/gritty look?

I am planning on sanding this one. It's a polymer so the sanding would only be light and quick because I imagine it would gum up with the heat of the friction. If I can get the legs to be smoother I'll be happy.
