bowl

i didnt use this as an assignment because it came out as more of a bole instead of a pot. so instead i used it as extra credit. If this were to have been an assignment, I think that this would have been pretty good because i thought i evenly painted the bowl with glaze.

Rattle


This is my rattle that i carved little holes into and rough lines all around. The rattle worked after it came out from the kiln, but when i put the glaze on it, the glaze must have seeped through the holes and clogged it. So after it came firing it didnt shake anymore. if we ever make a shaker again, ill make sure to not let any glaze come in because i know that it will get ruined.

Pot


This is my first pot on the wheel. I thought I did pretty well for it being my first time. Next time I would like to pull it up higher so that  its not so thick at the bottom. I wish that the glaze came out better becuase it would have made it look a lot better in my opinion. On my next pot im gonna try to get it as even as possible so that it doesn't look darker in some places and lighter in others.

Coil Pot


For the coil pot project, I wanted to make it look like the coils were getting bigger as they went up. i actually thought this project came out pretty good. I wish i could have used better colors, but i kinda like the green, yellow, and black. hopefully next time there will be a wider range of colors for me to pick from. I wouldnt change anything on this. I feel like I did a good job making it.
