This is my cup with a handle. There are a lot of things I could have done better on this project. I left the cup in the bag too long so it was dry and hard to attach the handle. Also, when I was footing, I cut too deep and made a little hole in my foot ring. Because of this, I can't use the cup practically. I am pleased with the glaze though, the splatter effect gives it an abstract pattern.
These are my two plates. I made them generally the same size, but I wanted the glaze to look very different. One thing that I noticed when the white and black one came out of the kiln was that the sides were uneven. When making plates in the future, I need to make sure that before I string it off the vat that the lip of the plate is an even height all around the plate. I am very please with the glazes of these projects; the clear glaze and black glaze provide a nice pattern with each other, and the orange and green glazed one is a good example of color contrasting sharply against one another.
This is my Tall Project. I decided to make it have a sort of base shape with a wide lip, and when I finished throwing it, I decided to use a pin tool to add texture. I spun the wheel, and placed the pin tool in the clay to make lines circling my project. With the glaze, I wanted it look like drops of color coming down the side to add design, but the color came out very faded. For the inside, I used a dropper and dripped blue paint from the top to the bottom. Next time, I need to use a darker color glaze on top of my clear glaze.
