This is an extra credit planter. It is 5.5 inches tall and 4 inches wide. There are three holes cut into the bottom. The middle cylinder is tall and comes straight up. The bottom flares out but isn't too wide. THe surface of the entire project is smooth and shinny. The planter is glazed clear with shinny turquoise that is on the top half of the cylinder and drips down the side. The form, glaze and texture work together to create a simple and useful item with cool colors that show of the form of the project. 

This is the last of my theme choice projects. It is 5 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide. It is in the shape of a tall vase that gradually gets bigger from the bottom and comes out more at the neck and then goes back in. Onto the side of this project is carved three flowers/pansies. The surface of this project is smooth exempt for the area the flowers are carved. The inside of this is glazed shinny turquoise  as well as the flowers. The rest of the outside is glazed clear. The form, texture and glaze work together to create a natural and figurative illusion of flowers growing against the blue sky in an open field. 

THis is one of my three theme choice projects and it is 3.5 inches tall and 1.75 inches wide. It is in the form of a vase with a smaller top and bottom and wide shoulders and a flaring lip. Into the side are carved two trees that sprawl from top to bottom. THe surface is smooth but the area where the trees are carved is rough. THe project is glazed metallic black on the inside and in the trees. THe rest of the out side of the project is clear. The form, texture and glaze work together to form a shape the complements the carvings and created a natural and figurative illusion of trees in a dark forest.

This is a multi wheel teapot that is 5 inches tall and 7 inches wide. The body of the teapot is round with a small base and top and wide belly. There is an inset lid the goes in the top and attached to the side of the body is a pulled handle and a thrown spout. Carved into each two sides of the teapot are daisies. The entire project is smooth and shiny exempt for the flowers which don't have glaze. THe teapot was glazed matt turquoise with celedon over the top. My intention was to have it go in the gas kiln but it didn't. The lid is shiny turquoise and the rest is a spotted looking green and blue. The flowers do not have any glaze on them. The glaze on this project reminds me of tie die. The from, texture and glaze work together to make a useful item that uses cool colors to match the sky behind the flowers.

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.

This is a vase that has the lip pulled out and an added handle to make it a pitcher. On top of the handle it is a flower. The bottom of the vase is smaller and gets wider at the belly and gets smaller again at the neck and flares out ond in again at the top. A part of the rim is pulled out to maka a lip for the pitcher.The surface is smooth for the whole project but in the inside there are throwing lines in the clay. It is glazed a non-matt turquoise with sand over the top. Since it went in thew gas kiln there are spots with different colors like a light blue or green and a white color. Overall it is a blue-turquoise with white spots and speckles on top from the sand glaze. The form, texture and galze work to gether to create a peice that is balanced in shape and has a glaze to complement its form and has spots of broken color.

The plate is .5 inches tall and 5 inches wide and the tea cup is 2.25 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide.The bowl is slightly lopsided and hasa a small base and get wider as it grows. The plate is deeper in the middle and the edges rise up. The tea cup is rounded in shape with a thin handle in a half heart shape. On all of the project the surface is shinny and smooth exempt for the bowl wherer the trees are, which is grainy and rough. The bowl is glazed on the outside, shadow green with white on top, making it a light blue. There are  trees carved into the side and in the middle of the bowl it is light green. The tea cup and plate are glazed, on half forest greena and the tp half a light blue. There are trees carved into the glaze with clear on top and on the forest green is carved trhew roots of the tree. On the tea cup that glazed ran and blured the design. The form, glaze and texture work together to create a set of three that complement ewach other in design but are uniquely different. The design gives a natural and figurative illusion of a set of trees against thes sky.
