This is my second plate. I made another one but someone stole it so this is a few days late. It's 7 inches wide. I learned the skills of making a plate by centering close to the bat and pulling twards myself with a fist. I stained black dots and circles on it and glazed clear over. I looks like the cousin of my plate #1. I used unity with circles because of the form of the actual plate and he glaze used. Mood is playful.
This is my first plate. I learned the skills of making solace which is basically centering the clay pretty close to the wheel and making a hole pulling out and pushing down and pulling twards yourself. I did this with a fist. A plate should also have some sort of a lip so I left that on my plate. I glazed it clear over a black dot design which is pretty cute. The circle dots on the circle plate represent a unity in the overall form. The mood is playful. This is my planter. The foot is around 4 inches For this I learned how to pull out the bottom and pull up the cup part. I also had to cut a hole for water. I had to start with a thick base so I could pull out the bottom plate part. I glazed this shadow green and black/ brown so it would have a garden theme. It uses art elements like size and color. Design elements are unity, and form. The overall mood is peaceful because I can see it sitting on a window with little flowers in it. This is my choice project which is a bowl. I did somethings I have never done before which is put it in the glaze kiln twice. I made it how I would make any other bowl, by centering. Making a base and using a rib tool to make the bowl shape. It has form and contrast. The inside is shadow green and outside is blue. I glazed it like that. Then I put white on top of the blue and glazed it. This bowl reminds me of puget sound because of the blue and green, comparing to the ocean and seaweed. I really like the shadow green and will definitely use it again. This is my vase/ tall project. It is turned in late because I have been sick a lot. I threw this on the wheel, then footed it. The foot is 2 1/4 inches and it's about 9 1/2 inches tall. I used the techniques such as centering, pulling out and making a base then pulling up. I learned how to choke to give in the vase shape. When I glazed it I used white and then splattered on turquoise. I like that the project looks different in every side. This project has form. Contrast of glaze to constraint of shape. The mood is wavey. |
