Ceramics

In class, we created a ceramic pot with clay. First we got a slab of clay and rolled it out on the slab roller. We cut out templates and cut our clay to make a design. We then placed our clay over real bowls to get the round shape. After letting our clay rest, we carved it and shaped it. The next day we painted it with wet red clay. Later, we put it into the kiln to harden and turn into greenware. I like my bowl because it looks organic on the end (with small dots that I poked through). I also like that it is simple and not too dramatic. If I were to change one thing about my bowl, I would add a little bit more detail on the inside around the circle. Overall, I enjoyed making the bowl and I love the outcome!
