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.
I used my own unique design on the starfish but did get the peacock design from the internet. The issues I see is that I should try to smooth things out more and I need to make my stuff thinner. My starfish was originally suppose to be a flower but when I couldn't get it to work right I tried different things. I tend to change my ideas when I find they aren't looking right or aren't working out.
Yes I used my own unique ideas to create my cups and didn't use other pictures to help me with my ideas and designs. The artwork kind of about who I am because I enjoy strange or unusual figures, things that you haven't seen before. Even if it's the design, shape, or glaze. I responded to the challenged by changing my figures a lot. When one figure didn't work out then I would change it so that it did work.
The artist of these peices are Marcella Smith. She made these peices by layering different glazes by dripping. I chose these peices because they are unique and I like that all the different glazes look so nice together. The artist of this peice is unknown. The pot and glaze was done in a Raku fire. I like the way the
