This is a plate. It is smooth all ove, however, only half is shiny. The plate is glazed in matte turquoise, and half of the project was dipped in clear to give it a shine. The difference in shines in the glazes gives the simple plate some complexity.
This is a small cup. The handle is twisted from its normal shape. The texture is smooth except for one place on the lip where a crack was cemented. The whole cup is glazed in blue. The simple glaze accents the uniquity of the handle. The glaze does not deter the eye from the cup's shape with designs or stain. This is a small bowl. The lip flares out quite a bit. The shape is less round than most bowls. One third of the bowl is dipped in cobalt blue, the other two thirds is dipped in sand. The sand was pretty clumpy, so it ended up showing more on the lip of the bowl and along part of the outside. The glaze shows the bowl's shape. This is a vase. It is fairly short and wide. It is very bubble like in the body shape. The lip is slightly flared. The project was dipped in blue and held upsidedown to drip the glaze that direction. The rest of the project is dipped in clear. The blue glaze dripping in the opposite direction gives off an illusion effect. The glaze looks as if it is defying gravity. This is a small plate. It has a rounded lip. The plate was stained and then dipped in clear. Green and blue stain were used to write and draw on the plate. The picture is of another ceramics student, who the plate was made for. The drawing and name give the plate a personal touch. Many artists use glazes or drawing on a project to personalize it. This is a 4.5cm by 14.5cm bowl. There is no flared lip. The project is less round than most bowls. The walls were pulled straight out, rather than curved. The bowl is glazed in clear with a stained green spiral down the inside. There are also stained green dots along the base of the outside. The spiral accents the shape of the bowl, while the dots on the outside unify the outside with the inside. This is a 7.5cm by 7.5 cm cylinder. It is pretty small. There are small divets as you go up the outside of the project. The outside is glazed in cobalt blue and the inside is glazed in clear. The blue covers a very small bit below the lip on the inside of the project. The two glazes are very different, creating a juxtaposition between the inside and the outside of the project. |
