I put my master artist and food specific together. I made a sushi plate with bamboo. My master atrsist was Katsushika Hokusai. My plate has a place to hold the chopsticks when you are done. I used a slab to create the plate and put a foot onto the bottom. I was successful the whole way through until I poked a whole into the bottom, and that's why I made a foot. It also has a crack or two but isn't bad. I used the bamboo design from my master artist in the middle of the plate and glazed it a light green. I really like my plate and is a successful sushi plate.
I don't like my lidded vessel and it didn't turn out as planned. I was trying to make an ice cream dish kind of thing and it went downhill pretty fast. So i made the bottom a rough texture and a spiral top. I made a flange lid. I threw them both on the wheel. The glaze turned out as a green bottom with a blue top which did not turn out well at all. It does support my function by holding little pieces of jewelry. It wasn't successful but it works right.
I don't have my pictures because my projects are at home. I loved my two bowls that I made. They were thrown with red clay and then have spiral designs of white clay on the inside. Each bowl has different stripe patterns on the outside of them. After they were fired I then put clear glaze on them. One has a foot on the bottom and is small, and the other has a flat bottom and is bigger. I think they were really successful and are my favorite projects that I did this year.
