Unit 1
Spiral Bowl:
Plan:
- Makes coils into circles and score and slip together
- Continue
- Attempt to take out
- Underglaze
- Fire
- Clear glaze
- Fire
- Done!
In the beginning, I really enjoyed the bowl design. However, due to the bowl I was molding it to, the clay dried out much easier than expected. I had to restart a few times, and then when I took it out it stayed too wet and broke apart. Ultimately I decided to scrap the design and focus on another project, as this had already taken three classes.
Tiles:
Plan:
- Make 50ish square tiles
- Label the back with type of glaze
- Fire
- Paint glaze
- Fire
- Hang up on wall/Organize
I am really proud of how these tiles came out. I enjoyed working on them with Ayla, and hope they can get good use going forward. It makes it much easier to know which color of glaze I want for my different projects and hopefully will contiue to help others in the future.
