"Super Charger"

6x6x18" Stoneware and Glass, 2022

This is my favorite project I made and it is my expressive project too. I made this because my car has one and I tried to copy the look of it into clay it was very hard and challenging.

I started out with a bunch of clay and I shaped it into the supercharger. I forgot that it had to be hollow so I had to hollow the supercharger out and that probably took the longest time it was very difficult because it kept wanting to cave in on itself.

I made the artwork because it is a part of my car and I love my car. It is unique because not a lot of people make car parts out of clay. It is far from perfect but I like it and that is all the matters.



"Pitcher"

"3x3x8" Stoneware and Glass, 2022

This was my 2nd clay project I did and it is one of my favorites








These are my wheel thrown projects.

I have never done a project with clay before taking this class. I really like using the wheel and the blue one is my favortite one I made.









"Utilitarian"

5x5x4 Stoneware and Glass, 2022

This is a utilitarian project I made this using the wheel and I like it because it is very unique and you don't see many square bowls made on the wheel. There was no real reason why I made it, It does not have any meaning to it I just made it for fun. The color I picked out to glaze was perfect and the bowl looks so much better.

I had difficulties keeping the sides up because they were so thin and I have trouble getting it off the wheel. I love the color I glazed it and how it is a square bowl and not a basic round bowl.
