Pottery!

We finished up our ceramics class last weekend. Here are some of our finished projects. Most of these are BN’s – because I missed the class devoted to glazing (that headcold was such a bummer!), I had to catch up a bit and most of my pieces are still in the pre-fired state. Glazing is fun, you have to just experiment and see what you get. There are sample tiles with all the glazes on them but there are so many variables, like how you layer them in different coats, the kind of clay you used for your pot, and even different firings will produce different results. Dad, you would love it – chemistry meets art.

I thought these all looked cool together. Most of them have flaws – rough edges, glaze blisters, or too-thick bottoms giving them an unpleasant weight. But we are already dreaming of making more and better attempts.
