Ceramics Project


The medium of my project is clay and the size of my project is a diameter of 8 inches by 4 inches high.  The design element that was stressed during the contruction was form.  The technique used was slump which is putting the clay in a bowl.  My piece could be used to hold things but I don't have a function for it.  To create the design for this project I cut out of paper a design for the bowl shape, and I looked at radial designs.  During this project I learned about kilns, the stages of clay, radial designs, and glazing.  If I could change the project I wouldn't have painted the design in the center because a lot of it ended up not showing through.
