Coil Pot

This is a picture of Todd and tanner with the coil pot I made. To make it I rolled clay into coils and stacked them on top of each other. The coils create a texture. I used white low fire glaze to paint it. Obviously, Tanner  and Tdd like my coil pot. they are very supportive of my artwork.

My First Mug

                                                                                            
I wanted to make this mug for my math tutor, Justin.  He drinks a lot of coffee so I thought it would be a fitting gift. I wanted it to say "4 out of 3 people have problems with fractions". Unfortunately, the handle fell off. I used engobe to make the mug green and I scratched the words in with a needle tool. It took a long time and I'm sad that the handle fell off :(

My First Pinch Pot!

This is Tanner and TA Todd, and my pinch pot. Tanner happens to be holding my awesome pinch pot. I used the bottom of a pencil to make circular indentations around the pot, making a textured pattern. I used high-fire glaze to add some color. Although, it kinda turned out ugly. Oh well.

Harold

This is my seahorse, Harold. Last year, Tyler drew me a picture of a seahorse and it's on the front of my APES binder, so i decided to make him my ceramics project. I used wire and newspaper and paint to make him.  He's really cute and purple. Purple is Tyler and mine's favorite color. :)  yay so cutte. <3
