pinch pot in half
This was my first or second attempt at a pinch pot and over all i think it went pretty well. its pretty even but the walls could have been thinner like the base and it could have been smoother. Im glad that it wasnt too uneven though. i think i should have run over it with a rubber smoother and maybe a sponge
double pinchpot
This was my double pinchpot and i think it came out very cute but it wasnt at all how i planned. If i were to redo this i would make a more stable handle [this ones broke off when i was under glazing ] so i could functionally use it without burning myself. i would also add vines that appear to come out of the lid with strawberries growing. However i think that it physically looking like a strawberry is very cute. overall im very happy with this projects outcome.
pinch pot with lid
I think my pinchpot with a lid came out very cute and im happy i can use it as a little candy jar. The color came out nice but i wish i used underglaze so that it could look more realistic like a different eye color instead of just all one color. if i were to do this again i would work on the lid more to make it smoother and fit nicer.
slab and sgraffito
this was my slab mold and sgraffito and i think it came out cute however i wish i had done a different design on it. if i were to redo this piece i would probably keep the center sgraffito and along the sides do fish or something about food because its semi bland. I think that the smoothness on the outside is good but im a bit sad that the edges cracked so i think that id make those a bit thicker so that it wouldnt crack when i took it off the mold.
small animal sculpture
I really enjoyed this piece and creating it. i was really sad when it disappeared because the meaning and thought behind it for me was that of the keltic knot and the ouroboros, both basically with meanings of the cycles of eternal destruction, rebirth, eternity and existence so it had a very big meaning for me. I based this snake off of a coral snake because of the "friend of jack/deadly fellow" saying. If i were to redo this i think i would have liked to do a different shape so it would be easier to paint.
