Stamp

This was my first very small piece, completed in a single class.

Plate

09/03

Plan: to make a small plate and then underglaze it. I wanted it to be in the shape of a square with some kind of patterns.

Plate

It turned out nice, though I do wish a made the sides more even.

That one I started after I finished with the first face project. I wanted to make another, more realistic, face, but never finished it…

Face

I like how it turned out, but, even though I wanted to make an evil man with a big nose, I think I overdid that last part. And I should have left more space for the forehead. I was thinking about glazing him,​ but chose not to, I really like texture.

Sliced Pinch Pot

09/24

I'll update the photo of the piece once it's glaze.

I chose to add the rough texture to the lid and the pot.

Round Plate

09/29

Plan: To make this plats as my historically inspired pice. There is an old traditional pottery style in Russian culture called "gzel". In my project I was planning to recreate such pice of art. I borrowed the designs and patterns from the pictures I've seen and combined them.

Pinch Pot

I really like how it turned out! I really thought that making a lid that fits would be harder! This one works great!

I'll update the photo of the piece once it's glaze.

Some artless soul dared to get rid of this little cutie!
Now she’ll never take her rightful place on the wall. How sad.
