In Progress pictures 1. Explain the process you have used to create you piece so far. I made 4 slabs, cut the sides using a template and cut the sides off diagonally, then I slipped and scored the sides together to the square base. I then cut out the weird beanie bois. 2. What difficulties have you come across so far? What has been successful? Personally none, and I think everything has been successful : ) 3. What do you have planned to go from here? Has your design changed based on what your experiences so far? To burn it, and it's the first piece I've made that has kept to the plans 1.Explain the process of pit fired ceramics. Should be at least 3 sentences or more
You start off making the piece with one of three choices: slab, coil, or throwing on the wheel. You bisque fire the piece and add on the materials you want to burn. Then you put it in a bin and burn wood and take it out and whabam, the piece is pretty. 2.How do you feel your piece was successful and how might you change it if you were to make it again? It turned out pretty and how I imagined. I would probably only make more if I wanted to change it. 3.What did you burn onto your piece? Egg shells, ionospheric acid, copper carbonate, paper, and wire. In Progress Pictures 1. Explain the process of the mug. (start to finish)I made a slab, then I made a cylinder, then pinched the bottom to make feet for the mug, I smoothed out the whole piece, then I pushed out the cylinder to get the curve of the mug. For the handle I made a snake like shape and a ball, scored and slipped the ball and snake shape, then I curved the snake shape and scored and slipped it to the mug
2. What style did you do the handle as? How did you make it? I made the handle in my own style, I made it by making a snake like shape and attaching a ball on the top of that. 3. What do you find successful? What might you change if you were to make it again? The whole thing :), I probably wouldn't have burnished it because I got water on the part I burnished and it made the glaze matte. 4. Define: Clay Slab - a flattened piece of clay |
