Just before you judge me for the "cave man" appearance of most of my ceramics, just know I enjoyed it, AND this is the first time that I've played with clay!
*I took a community ceramics weekly night class at BYU-I with my friend K. We had an amazing teacher who is both a sculpture and potter (I think those are the correct terms).
We mostly experimented with hand building. Towards the end I threw a few bowls on the wheel...
HAND BUILDING
My first coil bowl...
A slab tray that I rolled over with a real wood log (lost the wood texture when I over-glazed)
You're going to start to notice a repeat of patterns & colors!
AMOEBA SERIES
Leafy butter dish slabs...
Caveman Mugs...
THROWN ON THE WHEEL
Some of the only bowls that survived the wheel...
Okay, so I didn't throw these two bowls. My teacher was nice enough to trade my art cards for these bowls. He threw them both on the wheel in minutes. Amazing! I did trim and glaze them though. Hey, I just wanted nice bowls!
I really enjoyed learning and playing with clay... It has been an exciting journey to try something that I wouldn't normally do. Maybe another time...
I have a few more projects that I will be posting over the holidays, just have a look :)
Hope you have enjoyed viewing my quirky projects! Most of them are Christmas gifts...No peeking!
