Wheel Clay Project 2
Bowl 1
Bowl 1
My idea again was a bowl. I think that everyone made bowls for the wheel. My process was preparing the wheel with water and clay. Next i would get a ball of it and put it in the center and work up and down. Then i would push my thumbs into the center of the ball to make the inside of the bowl. Then I would just smooth the bowl out with my fingers untill i was finished. I then brought it to the kiln and when it was done I filled it. Then i glazed the inside a lighter blue and the outside a different color of blue. My artwork just is a bowl that you can really put anything in. There is nothing really symbolic about my piece. This one was not to difficult for me to make. The hardest part was probaly just smoothing everything out and making it look even and symmetiric. I would change the color of my bowl or do more coats on it. I think that me not doing enough coats of glaze on my bowls and other clay projects was a big thing i would change in my pieces. I think that this is also realistic. I love that the bottom is all even and the inside of the bowl is a cool pattern.
