Some Ceramic Pieces


These all have pretty good glaze coverage. The container on the left was made by stacking clay coils up on top of one another. I painted it with a cool metallic glaze that makes the piece unsafe to drink from. I was going for kind of a twisted square look that I think turned out pretty well. The other two pots were thrown on the wheel using one hand because I still had the cast on from when I broke my wrist! I did the paint on the "summer bowl" (right) by first glazing a coat of red, and then using a splattering tool to splash black dots on it. The "winter bowl"(left) has the same metallic glaze as the coil container.

Lime Green Teapot



The water holding portion was thrown on a wheel and the spout and handle were attached later. Besides a few pits, the paint turned out pretty good on this one. This was from Ceramic I class jr year.

Rainbow Coil Vase

I made this in Art III during the second semester of my senior year at Wake Forest Rolesville. I was going to enter it in a contest but I didn't finish in time. It got its inspiration from the vertebrae in a spine. Originalyy I was going to make it into a lamp. It is make of rolled up clay coils. It was crazy hard to make. It collapsed several times. If it hadn't collapsed so much It would have been bigger and I would have finished in time for the contest. This is one of my better paint jobs. I was trying to decide between alternating red & white or rainbow but in the end I went with rainbow. I took this to my interview to get into design school and Bong said it would have looked more stable if the colors were reversed with blue on the bottom.
