I chose this piece because i felt it stayed true to the wheel thrown idea but was still a artistic sculpture rather than a bowl, pot, ect. I also chose this because unlike many of the other wheel thrown sculptures this was not a wheel thrown object with a hand sculpture on it but a truly wheel thrown sculpture.

I think this is a cute and usable piece. The challenging part about it is that if i attempted to make it i would have a hard time making the sculptural part. I think i could handle the wheel thrown part.

Wheel Thrown Sculpture

I chose this piece for my post because it is very unique. They are chess pieces, but they look abstract. Although the Tim Wallace (the artist) did not choose to glaze them, they look good without color. I like how he made the knight, it has it's hoof in the air instead of it not being shown in regular chess pieces.

Wheel Thrown Sculpture

I choose this piece because it looked kind of cool and it has an odd shaped handle. It is also functional like a basket that can hold various items.

Wheel Sculpture

I chose this piece because it looks really cool, and I was wondering how the person who threw this was able to make so many layers.

I chose this piece because you can see the football shape of a vase we started out with. I also like the intricacy of the design and how it resembles waves. I really like this but I don't think I'd be able to create it, maybe something similar. It's just something that caught my eye while browsing.

Wheel Thrown Sculpture

I picked this wheel thrown sculpture because it is well thrown and shaped like a building. I also like the top part of it because it is like an antenna. This sculpture is also very well glazed and slip thrown.

I chose this piece because it resembles the shapes we have been practicing in class and I would be able to alter this type of animal in any way that I wanted.

this piece interests me because of its unique design and creative sculpting that creates a wave like texture.

Crab Pottery and Sculpture

I found this piece of pottery was interesting because of its uniqueness. The sea like theme played along well with this pottery because it has a crab, sea shell, and the colors tie in with the brown sand and blue ocean. I think making the crab must have been the hardest because of its intricate detail and creativity.

Tall Spectacular Lidded Raku Vase

This piece was interesting to me because of the simple yet intricate design. The wheel thrown piece was a solid piece of clay in the shape of a vase/bowl, then carved out on the inside to make it look like a flower, then glazed over with a light creamy green color.

I picked this piece because it has a good balance of sculpture and wheel thrown pieces. The sculpture elements don't take away from the wheel thrown piece, but just add to it. I also like the texture of the tree trunk.
