My final project was the master artist assignment. For this project, I picked Georges Seurat to create an inspired piece. For mothers day, I got my mom a cactus. So what better way to give her a gift than hand make a vase for the cactus. To incorporate the idea of Seurat's artwork, I glazed my vase/small pot with several dots. Below is a few pictures of my sketches and the final product of my final project for Ceramics two. 

Above is a picture of the dog food and water dishes that I plan on making. 

Here is a slideshow of both of my dog bowls. Although, as of today, my bowls are not out of the kiln. I really took a lot of pride in this project while making this for my dog, Boomer. I'm hoping that the glazes turned out well as I mixed two glazes together. The colors I mixed were indigo float and midnight blue. On the bone, I added toasted sage to contrast the blue and keep the normal "bone" color. 

Above are a few pictures of one of my clay colored plates. Although, we had to make a set. My second plate to finish the set was on the bottom of the kiln when I went to take a picture. So, a picture when it is fired will be uploaded at a later date. Along with pictures of the project glazed.  

The lidded vessel project was the most challenging one to perfect. I like to be very precise, which helped to be a positive thing in order to complete this. The glaze colors are smokey marlott and chum plum. The lid had a piece of glass placed on it right before it was fired, giving it a little something extra. Here they are!

Here are pictures of my slab sketches and final product. The project objective was to create cultural opposites. Pictured on the left below, is a turtle below the ocean at the ocean floor. On the right, is a quick sketch of the turtles setting sail into the ocean. While glazing, I had to be very precise with my artwork. I am very happy with how they turned out and can't wait to hang them up on the wall!

Below are a few pictures of lidded vessels I like. Each are unique and have their own definition. All of the vessels have been thrown on the wheel and have wheel trimmed lids. Above all features, I really like the idea of having a nob on the top of the lid. These vessels were glazed at cone 5.

Here are a few of my ceramic pieces before I glazed them. Some are simple but the way they are glazed is what would make someone want to pick it up off the shelf!

Below is a picture of a bowl with a very unique glazing style. I really like the ombre way of grazing and think it's a cool way to tie a piece of artwork together.
