Project of choice

On the wheel i made a candle holder. I wanted it to be a cup, but then i realized that i also needed a new candle holder so i thought mmmmcm why don't i just make my own instead of buying one.





Project of choice


In this picture i clearly made a volcano raining rainbow colors. I was originally making a cup on the wheel and it didn't quite turn out to be a cup so i made it narrow and said this would be a great volcano that i could use as a pencil holder and thats exactly what it is.




slab box project of Choice

In this picture i created a slab box since my primary color slab box was small. I really like flowers and i make everything flower themed so on the inside i painted it yellow with a black flower. On the outside i painted it black. 
Fun Fact: On the inside of the box i wrote my dads name because he also liked sunflowers. it just reminded me of him. 









Slab Project

In this picture i created a small slab box in the shape of a square. I painted it black with primary color triangles on the outside different sizes. On the top i painted different color swirly lines. 





Wheel throwing

In this picture i created a small wheel thrown bowl that i am using for a flower pot. I'm going to use it when i first plant off small seeds. On the outside i painted it white and took a sponge and dipped it in black paint and dabbed it all on the outside of the bowl to create a unique design. On the inside i painted a simple black sunflower.






Surface design

In this picture i carefully crafted with my hands an open bowl. After i created my open bowl i decided to paint a flower type image inside of it. I also painted a smaller flower in it. This project took me about 2 weeks to complete because i took my time so that it could be just right.

Surface Design Project

Surface Design Project 


As you can see i have not finished completing my project. I decided to make mountains in dedication of my dad, but it didn't turn out the way that i wanted it to because i didn't have enough time. So hopefully, i can redue it because i want it to be bigger. 



This is the final piece of it. what it looks like now.

Mishima and Sgraffito

Mishima: Is a technique to design a piece of artwork by drawing a slip of contrasting colors into the lines of the drawing in leather-hard clay.

Sgraffito: Is a technique to design a piece of art work by adding layers of plaster to unfire ceramic pieces and then scratching them off.


Mishima piece: It’s a plate that with flowers that I want to create. My theme is flowers so I want to try different flowers than the typical ones I do. But it does match my theme since it is flower and nature theme.



Sprigging: Is a process that you use to design a art ceramic piece of clay and decorate it with seperate individual pieces of molded clay to design your art piece.

Slip trailing: Is a  process that you use to design a art ceramic piece of clay with slip or under glaze in a dispenser that rises when hardens. It can be applied to bone dry clay or bisqueware. 

Impressed texture: Is a method that you can use to add texture to your artwork when the clay is wet to add more detail.
