Our group frankenpot has now going into the bisque kiln to be fired. We adding some texture to it by carving out parts of the project. We're hoping that this will add more depth to our colors by adding a place for it to possibly pool a little. Although we are not sure how we want to glaze it just yet, I could imagine layering glazes to create more depth. For example the metallic brown and a little bit of shadow green or one of the other greens. We could also use black/white as well as other blues. Kendra made the top part, Katie made the middle, and I made the bottom part of our frankenpot.

For my set of two plates, I threw them out of porcelain and was able to foot them. I love using the watercolor glazes so I used those here. I don't think the clear glaze layered how it was supposed to, there was some air bubbles or something. I glazed flowers on these plates.
This is a mug I made out of cone 10 clay and then glazed with cone 10 colors. The handle is a little small, but the cone 10 clay dried out a lot faster than I thought it would have. The handle is a nice shape for this mug though. I was also able to foot this mug. I glazed it with rutile on the whole project and then a cooper color on the top half of the outside. On the inside, I glazed it with white.
When I was making this project, I had intended to make a teardrop from one piece of clay but was not able to make the top how I wanted. So, I threw another piece and attached it the same day. At this point, I wasn't able to attach pieces when they were completely wet so I waited until after school to use the heat gun. The two pieces lined up a lot better than my other pieces and I am really glad about that. The bottom is a little heavy, again I need to work on pulling up the base. I was able to foot this project. I glazed it with shadow green, dark cobalt, and white. I love how it turned out. I was hoping it would more of a solid color. It does look nice as an ombre type effect, it also allows the focus to be on the top part of the vase.
This is a mug I made as a gift for Conner. It is made out of Seamix clay and glazed with shadow green with white on top. Unfortunately, the glaze ran a lot this time and had to be grinded. It has a foot ring.
