Piece Two

My sculpture, "Patronizing Parakeet," was modeled after my actual pet parakeet through the double pinch pot technique. This sculpture was one of the very first projects I completed and also marked the beginning of my passion in ceramics. I incorporated as much detail into the feathers and in my painting abilities. I began with a double pinch pot and began to add clay to shape its body. With a needle tool, I carefully carved each individual feather line on it's wings and back.
