Big Bowl

Here is another project I didn't turn in. I think it has a nice shape though. The orange glaze is a mix of yellow and red.

Lobster Bowl

I didn't turn this project in but I thought it turned out well.

Pitcher with mug


       Projects with an obvious common art element constitute a set. This is a pitcher and mug set. The pitcher is 6.5 inches tall and 4 inches in diameter. The mug is 5.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches in diameter. They both have applied handles. The handle on the pitcher is only on the top half, but the mug's handle reaches from the lip nearly to the foot ring. The pitcher is glazed blue and dark green, split vertically into 2 approximately equal sections. The mug is glazed similarly but the dipping is angles and there are spots glazed only in clear as a result of masking tape. The dipping of the glaze and the same colors unites the projects, making them a set. Common elements make projects similar and related.

Plate


       Color and glazing methods can evoke particular moods or associations from a viewer.  This is a wheel made plate, seven inches in diameter and 1/2 inch tall. The lip is 'squared' off. The glaze is random dipping into brown, white, and dark green with clear over the whole plate except for a small irregularly shaped patch. Brown and green glazes in simple patterns create an earthy or natural appearance. Glaze color and style can create moods or be associated with another topic.
