Clay sculpting
This is my pre-instruction vessel. While making this vessel i had no clue what i was doing so i just did my best to make a bowl. You can see the cracks in the edges and the unevenness around the edges. I felt good about it in the beginning but now i just don't feel so confident.
This is my slab and coil project. We had just learned about slabs and coils, about how to slip and score. It is an abstract piece that sort of represents a face. I added coils that have different textures to each of them. I added other markings into my slab to add detail. I added little knobs into it to sort of resemblance tears. I like this piece way more than my pre instruction piece.
This is a piece that i am a lot more happy with. it is an ashtray that around the edge has clay resembling teeth. this is a slab cut into a circle, bowed in, and smoothed out. I made this for my parents. it is inspired by an artist who specializes on fossil type vessels. So i took a page from hid book and tried to do the fossil type thing with the teeth around the edge to hold cigarettes.
