Shelves full of work! First round of bowls and cylinders ready to be glazed. I experimented with scraffito with white slip as well. Second round of cups with handles ready to be bisqued.
Maybe the best work I've done. These bowls are 12.5"-13" in diameter, thrown of 6 lbs of clay. Our next assignment is to make 5 bowls that are identical, and I've got 5 of these on my shelf now, waiting to be trimmed. I finally feel like I'm being challenged and finding my aesthetic. I'm very proud of these.
This vase is for Meredith and Chase, a long overdue wedding gift. It was thrown in 2 parts, combined, and then I distorted the thrown top. It's about 14" tall and I'm really pleased with it, it's very elegant.
The second is a close up on the latest series of cups with handles. I feel like I'm starting to develop a sense of gesture with these pieces. Also, I carved a stamp of my initials for my work. The more I throw and work through problems on the wheel the more I learn about clay and process. Really enjoying this semester in clay!
