I chose to make my project this way so that the bowl would perfectly fit inside of my left hand while still being comfortable. I chose the color after seeing the examples I thought it looked spacey and interesting. Using clay I used by thumbs to make a cup shape then using a snake of clay I attached a bottom to the cup. I glazed using a special glaze so that it could be burnt and fired creating a unique color and feel to the cup. The goal of the project was to make a unique cool raku fired bowl which I believe I achieved in this bowl. This piece helped increase my clay knowledge and skill which will be useful for a lot of later projects.
I chose this design because of the heart in the center reminding me off the design on my front door. Using clay and a stencil I etched a design into the clay plate then carved it out to be fired. The goal being to make a cool looking plate I think I succeeded. My first plate broke which left me far behind the rest of class but I was able to catch up and make a quality plate in the end. This piece showed me the drawing part that could be implemented into clay art allowing more possibilities for the future of my clay creation.
