For my frankenpot I made the center, Zoe made the middle, and Lauren made the top. Our project is a foot by 4 and a half inches. The glazes I used are blue, turquoise, white and green. The way I glazed it was doing a blue base first and then dunking it all over in white. I then took the pipet and let the blue and green travel down all the curves. After I drizzled down the glaze i then let white run down each of the lines. The colors are are very subtle and earth tones that complete the project.
These are being continued with my set for the bugs. They go along well with the bowls and have the same color scheme with some sort or purple in them. I threw each plate on the wheel and made one a bit smaller than the next so they have the ability to fit within each other. Each of the bugs are different but I used stain for each of them. These are my two finished butter plates that I made on the wheel. I used mixer clay and created two plates, I created a lip in each of the plates and measured them with the calibur tool. I then made two bowls that I would flip upside down to fit snug into the lips on the plates. I used porcelain for the handles. The glaze I mixed green turquoise as well as a purple that I dripped over. They both go along with my functional theme and inside the plates I used a heavy purple the join the two pieces when you lift up the lid. this was a set of three cups that I made. For each I carved out curves and dimples into the cups and then used stain to glaze the majority of it. I treated the stain like a watercolor and used it very heavily in certain places and then and lighter in others. Each cup is the same size and I used the same stain throughout each. The only different throughout them in the glaze I used in the center of them. Where I used green blue and clear. Carving away at the cups makes them lighter. The one thing I need to work on with cups is that I need to shape them better before I take them off the wheel as well as application of handles and being patient with the proper time to dry.
these are my two hand juicers that I made. I opened twice like you would with a planter but the center opening you connect together by coning and choking. Unable to foot, I cut a hole in the bottom since it was hollow, and then I carved edges into it. I did a simple blue and white glaze so the edges were clear to see and so pores would not be created at the bottom. Again I'm sticking with the idea of same glazing, it unifies the projects. This was my first time making juicers, so next time I would make the base larger and the center piece taller and more sharp.
these are a set of four bowls that are a part of a large set. Each of these bowls were stained with a different bug and then glazed the same. In the bowl is a lavander with clear added, and around the lip is blue overlapped with black and white. Even though the stain design is different from each other the glazing style unifies them together. Something I need to work on would be rounding the lips instead of giving them edges. Each bowl is the same size and is able to fit into each other nicely.
these are my set of 8 bowls. I am sticking to the theme of being unified and the ability to be used daily. Each of these bowls is moderately the same size and was glazed in the same way. I used a purple, a lavander, a blue, green, and white to create the appearance. Things I need to work on would be rounded the lip instead of giving it an edge, as well as making sure I do not glaze it too heavily because of crawling and pores at the bottom.
