Make a Roman-style millefiori pot

The Romans were masters of millefiori glassmaking, and in this project, we use the slightly more forgiving (and less dangerous!) medium of polymer clay to create a millefiori style pot. ‘Millefiori’ means ‘thousand flowers’ in Italian, referring to the intricate floral patterns often seen in the art form.
