With this project, I used clay with raku glaze to make a match bowl. This was essentially a pinch-pot. I wanted it to be slightly asymmetrical. This project gives me something to drink coffee in. The goal of this project was to make a match bowl, and I think that I achieved that goal as my creation is visibly a small bowl. I thought that the glaze turned out weird and different, and others echoed those thoughts. What I like most is the shape; I'm not a fan of how the glaze turned out. I will be more precise about glaze in the future.
I used clay and a stencil. I learned how to carve a pattern into my plate with an exact-o knife. I wanted my plate to look like the sun. I like this one because I had a fun time working on this project with my friends. The goal of this project was to carve a pattern onto a clay plate, and I did that. I like this, and others liked it too. I like the color the most, but I think that the stenciling could be sharper. Going forward, I will try to be more precise in my work.
With this project, I used clay to create a box, and cut-up popsicle sticks to impress patterns into it. I learned how to create impressive designs with simple efforts (i.e. the popsicle sticks). I wanted my box to be of a regal aesthetic. I like it because it is something useful that I made that I made. I think that it looks great. People have commented on how much they love my patterns. I like how the "scale" pattern turned out. I think that my sides could have been more even. I think I will put more of an effort for symmetry in future projects.
