Slab Building with Slump Mold
Plan:
-wedge clay
-find bowl for mold
-put clay in bowl then smooth out
-let dry then take out
This was my first try at the slump Mold and I was really happy with how it turned out. It did end up breaking in half when I tried to remove the clay from the bowl. I tried to fix it, but it just kept breaking unfortunately. If I were to do this again I would take the clay out of the bowl before it became bone dry so it would be easy to remove.
Coil Building
Plan:
-wedge clay
-use Extruder to make coils
-create spirals
-slip and scored to connect spirals
-add 3D fish
I was actually very happy with how this turned out, and was disappointed when it broke apart. I was not quite sure how to attach the coils together without them getting ruined, but I tried my best. If I were to do this again, I would create a bowl first, and then attach the spirals.

Sgrafifto
Plan:
-wedge clay
-create small rectangle
-carve out center making a tray
-under glaze
-let dry and carve flower+border
This was my first time attempting sgrafifto and I love
how this turned out. At first I started tracing, but I was
having trouble keeping the paper in the same spot so
I ended up just free handing it. I really like this type
of art because of how precise it can be and very
detailed. If I were to do this again I would probably
spend more time on making the tray itself more even
as well as clean up the border a bit more. But overall,
I really liked the sgrafifto and I hope I get to use this
type of art again.
Relief Carving

Plan:
-wedge clay
-create bowl
-attach starfish
-create waves on side of bowl
-let dry completely and carve bumps on starfish
-glaze
This is definitely my favorite piece I made this semester. I love the texture of the starfish, and how you can feel the bumps on it. I also am happy with the colors I chose. If I were to do this again, I would make the starfish bigger.
Plan:
-wedge clay
-create cylinder
-cut slivers into bottom and attach
-make rectangle for the bottom
-glaze
I am very happy with how this turned out. At first I did not like how small it was, but after I under glazed it I liked it a lot more. I think the colors I used compliment each other very well. It is the perfect size for a pencil jar on my desk. If I were to do this again, I would try to make it more even and probably make it bigger.
