This is my set of three, which consists of a mug, a bowl and a plate. They all are wheel-thrown and glazed with blue and white on top of each other. There is a succession of lines from one piece to the other, because the mug has no lines, the bowl has small lines and the plate has large lines that dominate the shape of the project. The sucesssion both pulls the three pieces together as a set but also separates them as three different projects.
This is my wide form project that I threw on the wheel. It is a wide bowl with sort of a "V" shape when you view it from the side. The glazes are Italian Straw and White with a bit in the middle left without glaze. I really like doing that on my projects, and there are many of them that show a difference in texture through the areas that are glazes versus the areas that are not glazed. I like the contrast between the smooth glaze and the rough clay, I think it makes the project much more interesting to both look at and to pick up and touch.
This is my first project of the semester, a tall form. I threw it on the wheel. It is glazed with white on the top and a dark green color on the bottom. I thought I was glazing it with blue. It is probably not my best project, and it is mostly because of the glaze. The scale of the actual project is undercut by the severe glaze. The project is supposed to be tall, but it is made to look short and kind of stumpy by the contrasting glazes. If I had it over to do, I would make lines with the glazes and try to elongate the form.
