This is a choice bowl and extra cup I made of red clay. They are both pretty simple. I kept the bowl plain and I carved a swirl pattern around the outside walls of the cup. They are both just glazed with clear. These projects were thrown on my first day using red clay, so I wanted to keep it simple and clean as I got used to working with this type of clay and seeing how it fired and everything. Thusly. my art element was simplicity. The bowl is very clean and simple, and the cup, even though it has swirls carved onto it, isn't overbearing or loud in its design. I learned to work with this new clay and got to see how it fired and differed from vashon white throughout the course of making the projects!

Wheel Alter (times Three!)

This is my wheel alter (times three!). They are bowls. They are all about 6.5" x 4". They have randomly spaced and sized cut outs on the outside, which is my alter. They are glazed with tomato red on the inside and in the cut outs and clear on the outside. For this project I had to focus closely on creating three bowls of consistent shape and size so that they would nest properly. And then I had to focus on making consistent cuts and carvings so that they would look clean and polished when finished. I think I did a pretty good job on making them all the same size. My art element is design. The hard edges and downward motion of the cut outs contradicts the soft, parallel shape and movement of the bowl itself.
