This here is my second bowl project and it is about 4 and a half inches tall by 4 inches wide. It has a wide variety of colors such as orange, blood orange, blue, and sand. I began by dipping the entire thing and sand then afterwards partially dipping it in various other colors. Personally this is my favorite bowl of mine due to the fact that it is the most uniform. It has a good shape and is centered and leveled. Also the colors can be interpreted in anyway the viewer wants. No real significance to this bowl but again probably gonna give it to my mother because she loves receiving me and my brothers projects.

This here is my cup with a pulled handle and it is about 3 inches tall by 4 inches wide. It was dipped in blue glaze and green glaze was dropped on the edges with a pipette. It has a smooth surface mostly because I used a little to much glaze. Glaze built up near the base so I had to grind it off. A new skill i learned is attaching a pulled handle. I believe i attached the handle well causing harmony in this project as if the handle is one with the cup. There is also rhythm in the way its glazed. The pattern in which i glaze this creates that effect. I'm most likely going to gift this to my mother because she drinks coffee every morning and would love a new coffee cup.
This here is my planter and it is about 2 and a half inches tall and 3 inches wide. it has a smooth surface with multiple layers of glaze. It is a mix of green, blue, sand and brown dipped at different angles in different spots. This is the first time I've made a planter and i learned to split the clay to create a plate like base while pulling a small bowl in the middle to house the plant. I feel this is one of my most centered and balanced projects as well as good and even shape. There's not much importance behind this project other than me experimenting with new skills and ways to glaze.
This here is one of the two bowls we are required to make it is about 3 1/2 inches tall and about 4 inches wide. The whole thing throughout is smooth with a tad bit of roughness. I began glazing by dipping the entire thing in white. Then painted the inside with a dark green. The bottom has to orange half circles with black outlined flower pedals throughout. The bowl utilizes contrast in color as well as a pleasing bowl shape. I made this for my aunt who asked for daises on something. I could not find yellow glaze so i used burnt orange instead.
This here is a vase about 5 inches tall and 31/2 inches wide. The texture is smooth near the bottom and rougher near the top. I began glazing by dipping the vase in a light green up to the lip. After that dried i painted the upper half in sand and the inside as well. A new skill i learned is choking in order to get the shape of the vase. the vase is pretty simple for he most part but utilizes elements of shape and texture. The vase personally has no deeper meaning behind it other than i was experimenting with methods of glazing and it turned out well in my opinion.
This here is a small bowl maybe an inch and a half tall and and inch across some may say it can be used as a shot glass. It was dipped in white glaze then splotched black glaze but seem to combine near the bottom almost making it seem like a light blue. Mostly i used the same skills but this time I've practiced working with smaller amounts of clay. This is just a simple project that i will end up gifting to someone it didn't turn out how i expected it but all in all I like it.
This here is me and Brent Knowles finished group coil project and Brent's grandmother is receiving it.
This here is my first wheel project which i decided to make a bowl. The bowl is about 4x2 inches. The inside is glazed blue while it fades to a sand color that is a little watered down and a little less smooth than the inside. This was my first time on the wheel so i had to learn the basics such as centering, creating a base, and pulling up the walls. Also I learned how to foot and glaze. By glazing the inside blue and the base a sand color i gave the impression of the ocean. I put the sand glaze on in a different density than the blue to make the sand part seem grainy like sand. i gave the illusion that the inside of the bowl was filled with water and the bowl was made of sand with water overflowing over the sides.
