Welcome To My Ceramics Blog!

This is my high school ceramics blog. All of these projects were made by hand and have been a lot of work. Thank you for taking the time to view this blog.

Coil Pot

This project took me the longest time among my other projects this semester. It took approximately a month and a half. The reason for this is probably because I spent a lot of time perfecting the initial coils. Also, after placing a couple coils, I would take a day or two to smooth out the outside of the pot and to make it as even as possible. After working on it for a month at a slow pace, time was running out and I decided to cut back on the perfection and increase the production of the coils.
Among all of the projects this semester, I think this would be the one I put the most effort into.

Pinch Pot

The objective of this project was to hand build a pot using the method of pinching.
My pinch pot wasn't too lucky. It had gone through a shelf-accident. As a result of this, I was unable to proceed with the glazing stage of this project.

Turtle Wire Sculpture

This is my first project in my Ceramics class. It is a wire sculpture of a turtle. The reason why I chose a turtle of all animals is because I found the shell of a turtle very unique. I used painted paper mache to create positive space in the shell.
