My idea was to create a little bowl with a pretty floral pattern that i can use as an earring tray. The idea really just evolved as I was making it, theres no special thought behind it. First I rolled out a slab of clay on the slab roller, then went back to my desk and used a pattern thing and a rolling pin, and rolled the pattern onto the clay. Once that was done i got one of the small circlers and slammed it onto the table a bunch of time with the slab over it, causing the slab to sink in and make a bowl, then i trimmed the sides, took it out of the circles and added handles. After my teacher fired it I glazed the bowl and fired it again. The artwork does not have any special meaning to it. It was most difficult for me to get the bowl to look straight. If I were to start over I would get it more straightened.
