Final
For my final, I decided to make a flower pot with a flower in it. When the pieces are done being fired and glazed, I plan to put sand in the flower pot to surround the flower.
Slab Project
For this project, I decided to make three flowers with three pedals and one lily pad. All three flowers will be different colors. I really enjoyed this project. I would do this project again.
Coil Pot
In this project, I had to make a pot out of coils. I decided to make my coil pot a beehive with an opening. My coil pot has to be 8 inches tall. I have three sketches of what design I'm going to do for my coil pot. I will be making a stamp of a honeycomb design to stamp on the inside of the coil pot.
Pinch Pots
In this project, I had to make three pinch pots and create something with them. Although, I'm not limited to how many pinch pots I can make. I had to make at least three. I decided to use my pinch pots to make a bee. Two for the body and one for the head. I really enjoyed doing this project. The only problem I had was the clay was drying out faster than I thought it was, so I had to constantly keep it wet.
Throwing on the Wheel
In my next project, I had to make a bowl and a cylinder. The cylinder had to be 6 inches tall. (My cylinder is a couple inches shorter than 6 inches). After my bowl was done in the kiln, it cracked and the rim of the bowl split and broke. I used superglue to put it back on.
Signature Stamps
My first project in Ceramics and Pottery is to make stamps for my ceramic pieces. I had to make one initial stamp and another patterned stamp.
