This cup was first thrown on the wheel, and after  it dried a little, I trimmed the foot, and added the handle to create a tea cup. I've thrown on the wheel in high school so I wasn't unfamiliar with this technique. Once you center the clay, slowly building the walls up is easy.

This cup was first thrown on the wheel, and after  it dried a little, I trimmed the foot, and added the handle to create a tea cup. Same process as the cup before, where I threw it on the wheel, waited for it to dry a little, before trimming the foot and add the handle.

This bowl was thrown on the wheel, it's the same concept as throwing the cup. Once you get the shape of the cup however, you take the rib tool, which is a rubber tool that is shaped like the letter "D", you take the rib tool on the inside and slowly start expanding the shape of the cup into a bowl shape, and once it's in that shape you start pulling up the walls to make it look more like a cereal bowl instead of a shallow bowl.

For this bowl though we had to manipulate it so it wouldn't be round, so I just pushed in on the sides to make the bowl look square, and wavy. We also had to add a design on the inside so I used the needle tool, and drew two lines inside the bowl.

For this we had to make a 15 in pot (once it's fired it shrinks), the pot had to be made using small pieces of clay called moduels and make the small pieces of clay into a shape. I inverted the pieces from round pieces on the inside to the upside down teardrop shape. We then had to finish the pot with a rim.

For this we had to make only one thing, but we had to have them built with four walls, a bottom, and had to have a removable lid. The clock tower I created be representative of Great Britain my friend would always tell me how much she missed seeing that clock tower on her way to school or work. To create these buildings I used clay, and slip to attach the walls together. Each building has a lid that can be taken off, and the two smaller buildings have windows cut out. The clock tower I put the time at 11:15 because that was the day she and I became friends.

Blue High Rise is representative of the skyscrapers you see in New York, my friend didn’t particularly miss the hustle and bustle of the big city but he did miss the way the food tasted, and the way he could walk to a place instead of drive there. To create these buildings I used clay, and slip to attach the walls together. Each building has a lid that can be taken off, and this building has a few windows cut out.

The Cottage Italy, my friend would always tell me how different buildings would be compared to where she’s from, but she always said that even though her grandparent’s cottage was kind of out of a fairy tale it was still cozy, and it was home. To create these buildings I used clay, and slip to attach the walls together. Each building has a lid that can be taken off, and this building has its windows cut out.

One piece that has always stuck with me has been the three buildings. Since coming to college I’ve meet many people from around the world, and some just coming out of state but they all say the same thing that is they miss home. Each of the three buildings represent a place that my friends are from. The white building being the clock tower which represents Great Britain, my friend would always tell me how much she missed seeing that clock tower on her way to school or work. The blue building is representative of the skyscrapers you see in New York, my friend didn’t particularly miss the hustle and bustle of the big city but he did miss the way the food tasted, and the way he could walk to a place instead of drive there. The light purple/blue building represents Italy, my friend would always tell me how different buildings would be compared to where she’s from, but she always said that even though her grandparent’s cottage was kind of out of a fairy tale it was still cozy, and it was home. To create these buildings I used clay, and slip to attach the walls together. Each building has a lid that can be taken off, and the two smaller buildings have windows cut out.

We were given choices, on either doing a boot, ice skate, hand, or ear which we have to model out of clay first. Then we had to use plaster which we used paint to color to show us later on if when we were breaking open the molds to remove the clay if we were getting to close to breaking or chipping the mold. Then once the molds were cleaned of any excess clay we taped them together, and poured hydrocal inside the mold, and once it was hard enough we were able to remove them and any excess plaster that was sticking out. Once we gave the plaster time to rest we painted them.

For this project we only had to use polygons, to create an animal, or scene, or anything we wanted it just had to be made with primitive shapes. I created a dorm room, with a girl inviting you to see her new space. I tried to give what I would think would be a dorm room which would include, a bed, desk, lamps, and a nightstand.
