Ceramics Individual Project

Fall 2017

With this individual project I wanted to step away from building clay into forms and work on the wheel. By doing this I taught myself how to make forms of different shapes and sizes while still using the same techniques. I thought it was amazing how you could easily manipulate the clay by just adding a little pressure in one stop or by moving your hands one way or another. The reason I chose to leave these pieces unglazed is because I wanted the texture of the clay from the wheel to be prominant. I did not want color or texture in the pieces to be chamged. The clay by itself, although as ceramic artists usually add glazes to create their finished pieces, I see them as finished pieces without a glaze.
