This was my small, 5in x 5in spherical bird feeder. I made this by throwing a circular closed form, and cutting three equidistant holes into the sides of it. I glazed it in light blue and scrap glaze, which unfortunately turned out much murkier than expected. I practiced making closes forms on the wheel, as well as altering projects when making this project. I think that the way I designed the form of the bird feeder adds emphasis to the function of the feeder. I made this project as a gift to my grandmother, so I like to think of it as a nice representation of my abilities being able to focus on creating something for a specific function.

This is my 7 inch tall pitcher, with a twisted handle. I glazed it with white glaze, and then splattered various blue and green glazes, which after firing created colorful runs down the pitcher. This project was a step into learning how to pull slimmer, smaller handles for me.This pitcher's unique form adds some contrast rather than unity to the projects overall impression. The subtle textures and colors of this pitcher are what make it reminiscient
This my mug, plate, and tea strainer painted with clay slip for my "set of three" project assignment.After brushing on the designs with red and porcelain slip, I covered all of the projects with clear glaze. With this project, I developed my skill of using clay to color projects. On all three of these pieces, I used line and shape to create unique patterns that gave a sense
This is my small, 5 inch diameter plate with small depressions I made with my fingertips. After the plate had been through the bisque, I painted the depression with slips made from Vashon red clay and dove porcelain. I finished by covering the project with clear glaze for the glossy finish. In making this plate, I learned how to use clay as glaze. The color of the slip and the space around them create a fun pattern with movement across the plate.
