My lidded project. The glaze wasnt complimentary. By using two basic colors the project didnt look right. The colors together were very homely. The pot was made from two parts the lid and the pot itself. the project is small and also had deep grooves around the bottom helping show the form.

My tea pot came out of the glaze kiln and turned out great. The glaze accents the lines and form of the pot. It also helps give the pot more of a textured look. the pot is petite with a small handle. This project was made up of 4 parts . 3 of the 4 parts were pulled by the wheel and the handle was pulled by hand.
 
Order and control.
the projects i have made are small (controlled) and the projects themselves or the glaze help keep the project in a precise way and orderly manner
 
Wide form- complete. glazed. on blog
Tall Form-complete. glazed. on blog.
Set of three-exsist. being glazed. glaze was to thick.
Wheel altered-exsists. not bisqued. will not be graded for this quarter
2 plates- exsisted :( - broken. will not be graded for this quarter
(refer to the blog photos tab for all projects, before completio, photos.)
 
My plates broke in half because both were to thin and the sides of the plate were to thick. The set of three came out of the bisque and are in the process of being glazed. My wheel altered project was started but not put into the bisque so it will not be up on my blog or graded for this quarter.  The projects incompleted are my plates.
 
This week i started my set of 3. i also got a plate done. my set of 3 includes 3 jars with lids. the third jar is still in progress and the other two are in the bisque kiln.
 
This is my tall form. it has a very earthy feel to it with the leaves and sand / green glaze. It is a cylinder with 3d designs ono the outside. here are the three phases that it went through.

My finished bowl. It is green and sand with a washed out green on the inside. it is a practical sided bowl and isnt as fanned as when i started. it shrank and the glaze makes it look like it has more depth than it really does.

Started this bowl on sept.5th and is now in bisque

The jar is finished. the color of the glaze is shadow green, sand, and yellow . The jar was 4"X5" and was an oval shape. It was fat at the bottom and thinner at the top. The glaze was dripped on the jar and ran down the jar. It helped give the jar texture. The inside was yellow and helped show depth.
