This is my groups six inch tall frankenpot, glazed with dark blue and clear. On the wheel, I threw the base, while Jacob did the middle and Sami the top. With this project, I learned how to attach projects together on the wheel. The different values of the blue glaze and the clays hue creates contrast in the project. I think this frankenpot represents something new and different accomplished a s a team, which none of us could have created on our own.
This is my first large bowl project, about 5 inches tall and 5.5 inches wide. I glazed this by dipping the side of the bowl into the buckets of glaze to try to get a silhoutte, and I used dark blue and light blue glaze. I covered the rest of the project in clear glaze. With this project, I learned more about how to manipulate glazes to accent certain aspects of the project. The shapes of the blue glazes on the project help accentuate the form of the overall bowl. When I look at this bowl, I am reminded of the different hues of blue on sunny days over a beach or lake, and how the colors interact with each other.
This is my four inch tall, five inch wide choice butter wheel. I glazed this project by brushing on orange glaze with a bamboo brush over designs in the clay I made with a stamping tool, and then wiping off the excess to define the patterns. After doing that, I also covered the project in clear glaze. With this project, I learned how to throw larger planter/lid shapes and how to work with projects with thin bases. The patterns on the top and side of the butter wheel create a lot of movement for the eye to follow. This project expresses a sense of earthy stability and balance.
