Kerrigan Jefford's Pitcher

8 x 3 in., Stoneware & Glaze, 2024

I'm going to use this pitcher for flowers maybe because it has a cute flower design on it. I used two glazes on this pitcher and it turned out differently than I thought but it looks cool. I think I did well on smoothing all the edges and cracks. I need to remember to sand the bottom down though. But overall, this pitcher is one of my best.

Egg Magnet

2 x 2 in., Stoneware & Acrylic Paint, 2024

For my first time ever making something with clay the egg isn't bad. The painting is a little crazy and I should have just used a sharpie for the smily face. I wanted to make something food related because I'm going to put this magnet on my fridge so I did a little happy egg.

Mac and Cheese Bowl

4 x 4 in., Stoneware & Glaze, 2024

This was one of my first simple bowls and it went well. One thing I need to work on is making sure all the edges are the same shape and size. The design turned out good and I like the color. I wanted to make a bowl so I could get the hang of it and I'm going to use this bowl for my mac and cheese.

Chip & Dip Bowl

8 x 6 in., Stoneware & Glaze, 2024

This chip and dip bowl was challenging. I wanted them connected so I put the smaller bowl on top of the bigger one. I connected them with a slab of clay and made sure to leave an air pocket so nothing exploded in the kiln. I like this dark green color and the design.

Butter Dish

3 x 8 in., Stoneware & Glaze, 2024

I did an Utilitarian project. It's a butter dish and is supposed to be the sky and the earth and a cardinal. It turned out streakier than I thought it'd turn out but I still like it. One thing I could improve on is getting actual measurements of the size of a stick of butter. I kind of guesstimated.

Kerrigan Jefford's Wheel Made Projects

3 x 4 in., Stoneware & Glaze, 2024

These were the first projects I made on both the electric and manual wheel. The far left one is the best shape so I think thats my best one. I used alphabet macaroni to put words on each of the bowls. I put my initials KJ on the first. The middle bowl I put the word Hello on the rim. There is a hole in the third and I didn't mean to do that but I plan to make a plate for the bowl to have a small plant holder. Thinking of this I put the word life on the third bowl. I thought the color was supposed to be green but it turned out a brown color.

Kerrigan Jefford's Ceramic Molds

6 x 8 in., 2 x 2 in., Stoneware & Glaze, 2024

These projects were fun to do. It took a lot of time to make sure there was no chunks of clay in the slip but it was worth it. I wanted to use both of these molds for christmas gifts. The tree stump was for my dad because he likes plants so I thought this was a good gift for him. I made the ornaments for my mom because she loves christmas decorations. The only thing I wish I did with these was plan more time for them because I felt rushed. I didn't do enough coats of glaze on the trunk and it looks different than usual.
