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.
