This is a larger seamix vase with red clay around the middle and the top part of it. I plan to clean up around the edges to make the lines a little cleaner. I was able to foot this one, it is a bag right now but I'll take it out tomorrow. I wasn't able to sandpaper this project today but I was able to carve a little and get the red lines to be nicer. I did foot this project but it still feels very heavy. I don't know why it is so heavy though, maybe it is just really thick or maybe it's the clay. I am excited to see how it turns out though and am really enjoying adding slip to my projects.

This is out of seamix and I am hoping to make a braid with red clay to put around that middle section. I finished attaching the top part. Today I made the braid to go around that middle section. Since there is no school next week, everything is in a bag and I will attach the braid once we're back. 3/1 - I've been trying to add a braid or something to the middle section but that wasn't working this time. So, I decided to add/paint red slip on. This is a photo of what the project looks like with the red clay painted on. It is still in a bag, I think I will take it out tomorrow and let it dry over the weekend. I had wanted to do something in the middle part but wasn't able too so instead I painted something. I do want to try to add more hand made things to my projects. Here's a mug I made. It seems to be one of the largest mugs I have made so far. I think I should try making a pitcher next. As of right now, it is in an open bag in my locker. I really like how this one turned out and am excited to glaze it. I'm not sure how I'll glaze it yet.
This is coil is made by Kendra, Katie, and myself. We choose to make it for Kendra's exchange student, Ale. It has coils in vashon white, red clay, and porcelain. We used porcelain to make what looks like sheet music and then red clay for the music notes. It is still in a bag, the bag will be opened Tuesday since there isn't any school today. The top has spiral coils, two bigger spirals in vashon white and porcelain. In between these spirals is a small red spiral.
It is on the shelf to be fired now, Feb. 10th. |
