This is my Extra credit project. It is a simple vase that is made out of porcelain. It is glazed with clear and then the lines and dots are black and red stain. The red ring around the top is of red stain. The way that I placed the line and dots creates a swirl effect on the project.
This project is a really simple, small pitcher. it is made out of porcelain and glazed with clear and burnt orange color. the orange is sponged on which is a new technique for glazing that I learned recently. the sponging of the orange gives the project a blurry kind of look to it. I didn't learn any new techniques when i was making this project, I just improved my previous skills and techniques of throwing. This is my wheel altered project. It is a pumpkin that is glazed with a burnt orange color. This particular pumpkin is actually a candle holder with a small lid on the top. there are small holes on the front of it that will allow the light from the candle to shine through. This project gives a sense of the fall season with it. The skills that I learned with this project is how to throw a closed form project and then alter it to make the lines and the stem and the lid. this is a closed formed jar. it is made out of porcelain and glazed wirh just clear. the lid is made by pulling up the sides and choking the top of it until it is closed and then flattening the top to make that botton top. and then taking the pin tool and cutting a top for it. the skill that I learned was throwing closed form projects. these are two porcelin plates that are very similar. they are glazed with white glaze and black and red stain for the swirls. The swirls on the plates give the projects a static sense of movement. With these plates, I didnt learn any new skill but I just improved the skills that I already had. they are somewhat small so they could be for appetizers or they could be used as saucers for bowls. |
