Ceramics

I've not really put any of my ceramics on here, but now that I have a piece (well, four) that I really like, I thought it a good time to show off.

These are for my final Ceramics project. We're putting decals on cups- my decal is the wood grain, on some really loose thrown cups, with willow handles. Hopefully they work!




(they worked)



This pot was for our Historical Pot project. We had to reference historical ceramic design/subject matter, and modernize it. I used a shape that I liked. Unfortunately, it lost a handle somewhere along the way, as well as a little bit of decoration. Some of my slip flaked in the kiln, which I was kind of asking for. I played it fast and loose with this pot, if you can even apply that to ceramics.





My "modernization" was a little bit tongue in cheek, if not borderline offensive. I was inspired by the pot below, called the "Suicide of Ajax", which is as it sounds; a disgraced soldier is killing himself. My pot depicts Ajax gassing himself in his garage, and I'm really happy with it, which may or may not make me a horrible person.



And, at the very bottom of this post, is a big spoiler for the secret project. If you want to spoil it for yourself, scroll all the way down
