My Last Three Ceramic Sculptures at HHS

Something to Remember 

                                                       
Plate set

Cup

Pencil holder

Candle holder

Pinch bowl

The first five pieces were on the wheel and the other two were hand built. The reason i call it a reason to remember is because I will always have them somewhere in my house to remind me where i started from, i want to continue ceramics, maybe not as a career but as a hobbie!

The Colorful Jelly Fish

Making this wind chime jellyfish was tough, especially putting the string in the holes when the holes weren’t big enough. I applied sgraffito to the sculpture.

Surface Design

Mishima pottery is a type of  surface design by drawing with a putting slip into lines on leather-hard clay. 

Sgraffito Pottery is adding under-glazes and colored slip to the leather hard clay then scratching out your design, to it your own.

Slip Trailing is when you can add lines and patterns to a leather hard clay surface.

Impressed Texture is when you press into clay with a object that has surface texture to leave a print on the clay. 

Sprigging is when you decorate clay with smaller design pieces to add surface texture.

My Wind Chime Sketch

I will be doing the Mishima technique because I feel that it will allow me to make my jelly fish look realistic when doing a wind chime.
