Pottery Class

This year I had a pottery class that was very fun. For the last half of the semester we had to come up with new three new projects. My first one was themed, "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" and the second one was a "series of three." and the last was about "gravity."

These photos are about the chicken.

The next set of three are a more practical assignment of three noodle containers for the counter tops. The black one is for lasagna, the red one is for spaghetti, and the yellow and red one is for shell noodles.

This last one is the gravity one. I decided to make a fountain. Its not finished yet. I cant wait to get it all finished and running.

-Special thanks to Ali Lockwood for photography and Willis Coston for helping with the fountain framework.-

Jabba the Hutt

In my pottery class one of the assignments was to create a pinch pot deity. So after browsing online for ideas I came across Jabba the Hutt. It was the winner. Pinch pot is a technique were you pinch clay with your hands to form a bowl shape. I created two bowls and then scored the tops. I connected the two bowls with slip and proceeded to add arms, head, and tail. The arms and tail are flat sheets of clay molded into a pipe like form. After it was fired I painted it with acrylic paints.
