Top Bowl- white glaze, fired, shadow green, fired.
Middle Bowl- white glaze, fired, shadow green and mystery blue.
Bottom Bowl- Shadow green, fired, white glaze, fired.
My theme for these three projects was glazing/firing each project not once but TWICE with more glaze. This creates a unique cracked look throughout the piece. This is a technique I discovered myself and feel in love with.

This is my multi-wheeled project. I threw three projects and scored them together. This project is my favorite project that I've made and I am the most proud of. It was my first time using raku. I love the way the color turned out and the metallic look to it.
These are my two plates. I made one for my mom for Mother's Day and the other one for my dad for Father's Day. These pieces reinforced my skills of making plates. Plates are not something I usually make. However, I am very happy with the way they turned out and plan on making more plates in the future. I also used stain to write the messages which is also something I don't normally use. I hope that my parents will love my plates just as much as I do.
This is the frankenpot that Zac, Alex and I made. I threw the base, Alex threw the middle and Zac threw the top piece. Zac and Alex are both in beginning ceramics so I helped them create these pieces to assure they were the correct sizes to blend together. This project enhanced my skills of measuring the top and bottom of the pieces to assure we can combine three pieces into one. We glazed the inside of the frankenpot with turquoise and the outside we used watercolors to create a chaotic overall look.The movement of the watercolors help blend the three pieces together.
This is my wheel altered project. This project is from last quarter, I am finally posting it now because my first two wheel altered project attempts were destroyed. the first one was destroyed when footing and the second one was in the kiln. This project I learned a lot of things. I learned to make my bases thick enough to foot and if a project is too thick it will be ruined in the kiln. I enhanced my skills of slip and scoring as well as glazing. I glazed this project in turquoise and mystery blue on the attached pieces.
This is my extra credit project. I made the lines in the cup to create texture. The color between the lines makes movement throughout the piece. I glazed this project in turquoise and scrap green.
This is my lidded project. This project reinforced my skills of measuring to assure the top fit the bottom. I glazed the base in turquoise and the lid/bottom of the base in turquoise and shadow green. The color gives the piece an overall flowing water look.
This is my wheel altered project. I created a four way pitcher. This piece is unique in its functionality and shape. I glazed the inside with turquoise and green and the outside with cobalt blue. The light color on the inside and dark color on the outside create contrast between the shape.
This is my wheel and hand project. This project ehanced my skills of making a handle. Making handles is something I've always struggled with. However, with a couple tries I finally got the perfect handle! This is my favorite project so far because of its large mug shape. I glazed this project with turquoise, cobalt blue and green. The movement between the green and blue creating a flowing motion falling into the middle of the inside of the mug.
