Advanced Ceramics
My focus for this semester is sculptural.
Ideation
Process
This project kept falling apart due to the paper clay drying up too fast. I tried many times and different methods however it never was sucessful.
Play
This semester I did a lot of play seeing what different glazes would do and how far I could push things on the wheel. I came up with some interesting organic forms. I also started adding foreign objects to clay, like springs, wire, glass, and other random things to see what would happen when fired in the kiln. Most of these turned out interesting and not how I expected.
Final
For my final I did a fallen wheel project and added glass to the middle. I did these 2 sets for my teachers, Fad and McLees. The biggest struggle was getting the wheel just off center enough so that I would not have to fight to make it fall.
