Garden art made by ME. :)









I had to ponder different garden arts i would like to create during this semester and i came accross the idea that i would like to make a imprint of my hand. The finished product looked like this.



Also on the wheel i threw a pot with a little help from my friend Justin. But mainly it was me and im so proud because its the first decent pot i have ever thrown !





Raku's.










Here are some different examples of raku kilns
Now here are some other examples of pots that are made out of raku.

Glazes















These are some examples of the cone 05 glazes that i like. I would really be interested in trying some of these out on my pots, the colors are really pretty.

Now here are a lot of different types of cone 5 glazes.
I really like the different types of blues, they really stand out for me. I would like to see more of those kind of colors in the class room.

Heart cup











I made a heart cup. It is shaped as a heart and on the side i carved in hearts all on the outside of it. I painted it cranberry.

March 13th

I was not in class last week Friday so i did not get a chance to post a new post. I just got my face out of the kiln with the full paint and stuff. Mr. Chapman hasnt been here for the past few days so i havn't been able to take pictures of my work. I also just made a garden art. I took a slab of clay and put my hand print in it, above that i made a flower out of clay. Inside the hand i put broken up pices of glass to be melted in the kiln. I painted the base of the whole thing cranberry and the flower sea blue. Around the whole thing i did paint splatters of different colors. I don't have pictures of that either because i havn't gotten the chance yet but as soon as i get my hands on the camera i am going to take pictures.
