Hailey Green " Black stars"

 2022  12/15

 my idea was to make a wavey chip bowl 

I started by making the bowl then I made the wavey part of the bowl to add the wave effect. I then added the stars and the color. 

This artwork is meant to show the sky in a way. The dark of the night with the stars is what I want people to think about when they see this artwork.

The most difficult part for me was making the bowl and the waves if the bowl would have been easier for me to make the waves would have been more even and how I wanted them to look. If I could start over I would make the bowl bigger and make the waves even.

This is a abstract piece of art. its unique because of the waves and the color. I love the color. 

Hailey Green " heart "

5x5, clay , 2023 

 My idea for this piece was to make a cute heart bowl. I got this idea because I thought it would be so cute to have heart shaped plates and bowls. There's lots of heart-shaped things and I think that a little pink heart-shaped bowl is good for anyone. 

I used the wheel to make a bowl and then I took my hands and shaped the heart at the top. After it dried a little I carved it and shaped it up then I glazed it and fired it. 

This artwork means love and sharing kindness with others. I want people to think of love when they see the bowl. 

The most difficult part was sanding the heart down. I just had to get it as best as I could but I wish I could have made it more smooth.  If I could start over I would have taken more time smoothing it out before it got fired. 

Abstract. It's unique cause none of the hearts would be the exact same they would all be slitlghy different shapes and sizes. I love how this point turned out and the color matches it so well.

Hailey Green " Blue wave pitcher"

4x4 , clay, 2023 

 The idea for this bowl was to make a bowl but have something more unique piece. There were some similar pots that I saw that were like this and it really inspired me to make one. 

I started at the wheel making a normal bowl then after I was done I made the little waves with my finger. 

  This artwork means that everything doesn't have to be perfect and you can make things a little different to make things more unique and one of a kind. 

The most difficult was making the pot smooth. I had to sand it a lot to get rid of the rough kind of texture of the pot. If I could start over I would have taken a sponge at the end to make it super smooth and way less time you have What do you love about it? Abstract. This pot is unique because it's a pitcher and pot at the same time.i love how this pot can be used for several things and is multi-purposed.

Hailey Green " twists "

6x5, clay, 2023 

The idea for this work was a bowl for jewelry. This bowl evolved with some waves to make it more fun. 

I started out by making the bowl with clay and then put the waves in it.

 This artwork means creativity. I want people to think it's different and unique.

The most difficult part was sanding the corners and getting in all of the waves to make it smooth. If I could start over I would make it smoother before firing it. 

 What makes it unique to your own personal style?  What do you love about it? Abstract.  The waves make it unique because any other pot will be different. I love how to color came out.

Hailey Green " deer "

, clay, 2023 

 The idea for this one was to make a deer with cool horns. I see similar things on the internet and that's where I got this idea. 

I started by making the neck then went to the face and lastly made the horns. Along the way, I just sculpted the face and tried to make it more realistic.

 I want the audience to think of nature and how calm and peaceful it is. 

The most difficult part was making the face and the horns I was also going to have ears but I ran out of time so I just had to go with the horns. If I could start over I would just take more time and make sure the clay isn't too dry.

 What do you love about it? realistic. This is unique because it's handmade and just an original thought with the horns. It just shows my creativity.
