Ceramics Project




For the ceramics project the whole class worked with clay. I made a bowl that is 7.5 in x 6.8 in x 1.5 in. Throughout the project our teacher stressed that our ceramics had to have the design elements color, shape, form, and texture. 
To shape the clay I took a big ball of clay and rolled out a slab on a slab roller. Then I put the slab into a hump mold to make it into a bowl shape. I now use my bowl as decoration, but I would be able to eat from it.
This project taught all about glazing and how to make a decent sculpture. If I had to do it over again, I'd make a better design for inside the bowl.
Fun Fact: I got my inspiration for the bowl's shape from the Windows logo!
