This is a hand and wheel project that is a vase, 6 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide. It has a small base with a wide belly and gets choked at the neck and flares out at the lid. Applied to the side is strings of clay that are attached to the side of the vase to look like climbing vines or branches. Along the clay strings there are small round pieces of clay to look like flower buds and one flower. The surface is smooth but the clay vies/branches are not glazed so they are rough. It is glazed turquoise to look like the sky and the flower buds are stained candy red. The clay vines/branches are not glazed. The form, textures and glaze work together to create a vase that, in its own simple, but with the added clay, gives the natural and figurative illusion of a cherry blossom tree climbing up into the clear sky.

This is a theme choice project that is 3.5 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide. The body of the project is a cylinder with small shape to it that makes it wider at the shoulder. There is a handle on the back of the cup and there is added clay to make the cup portray the image of an owl. There are large eyes with small pupils along with a small, triangular beak and small feet. On the side there are also ovular wings. The project is smooth exempt the features of the bird stand out against the cylinder. The cup is glazed metallic brown on the handle and body and the eyes are white and the pupils clear, the wings are white and the beak and feet are yellow. The form, glaze and texture work together to create the natural and figurative illusion of an owl.

This is a lidded project that is 5.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide. It has a smaller base and gets wider at the belly and smaller at the neck to for a vase. The lid is one that goes inside the vase and in the middle there is a nob for a handle. The surface is smooth throughout the whole project. On the item there is a shinny glaze and it was glazed turquoise with sand over the top and then put into the gas kiln. This made the color come out as a bright forest green. Throughout the project there are spots of darker and lighter color glaze and on the lid there are lines of extra dark green and even blue glaze. The form, texture and glaze work together to create a project with cool colors that flow and change to highlight changes in the form of the project.
