My senior year was dedicated to finding out new techniques and trying new things I have never done before. From trying sculpture to throwing different forms on the potters wheel. 2018/2019 really opened my mind to how many skills I truly do have in ceramics.
"Delilah", or her more artisanal name "Blooming From Stone, was the first big project I created during my senior year. It took me about 3 months to finish her completely. Delilah really pushed me to try new things in ceramics. I always want to throw on the potters wheel but with her I went out of my comfort zone and I'm very happy with how she turned out.
This tea pot form was something I wanted to create because it was a new and unusual form that isn't really seen on tea pots. While this was getting fired an almost perfect circular crack appeared and I personally do not like it but Mrs. Lorenz does so I took the picture with the crack showing.
