NOTES

I made the steps thinking it will be easier for Toffy (the hamster) to get in and out but he does not use them too often, instead he just hop in.

If I would be making this bathtub again I would make it a bit deeper.

I made it during art workshops I attend.

    Do you have to fire it? I want to make one for my son’s hamster and I would get the clay from Michaels is that okay to use?
