Now, I shall exhibit my Ceramics projects.
Pinch pots......
We have learned how to wedge clay--or as I call- smashing out all the bubbles!
The requirement for our first assignment was a pinch pot at least 6 inches in one direction. I have a little bear pot and a large vase or wine cooler.
They have improved- but I did not take photos. the cooler is not quite as peanutty looking! The bears have more detail and a little tray under them. I am planning to use the bear pot to put a small plant in, maybe babies tears! I put in a drainage hole. I should check them in the morning to be sure that they are not drying too fast. I have a fear of being the student who did not expel all the bubbles out of the clay. Do you know what happens??! The piece explodes and breaks other peoples pots in the kiln during firing. :-(
The wine pot is inspired by my white pine in my back yard. I even took "inspirational" photos. The photos guided me in the pine needle inscribing.
The next piece will be coil. I am excited because I have a great idea....viking ship..I shall share....

These are the evolutionary sketches as my idea comes together!
