Book Ends

For the Book ends project I made each bookend half of a ships wheel.

To make this I started with the wheel. I made a stencil and traced it onto a slab of clay. I then kut all the pieces out and make sure it was smooth. I then did the same thing again to make the other half. I then made slabs as the base of the Bookends. I made it so they were about the same height and width as the wheel. For glazes I used a navy blue for the base and White for the wheel.

If I were to do something different it would be trying to find a way so that they wouldn't sink so much in the kiln.
