Sedona Sand

I glazed this bowl with the Sedona Sand that Haley had made, and it didn't turn out awful, which is good. The glaze just looks uneven in some spots, but that would be my bad.

Finished Mario Brick Block

Okay so, about six months later I'm posting the finished version of my cube, all because I just recently found it. The glaze didn't turn out how I had wanted it to, my plan was for it to be a lot lighter and with more red. Otherwise I think that it had turned out fine, the lid isn't completely lined up, but that's okay.

Lost bowl

I honestly just looked in my cubby  today and found this, I made on the wheel a very long time ago, and I was just feeling the color red. So I used some of Haley's Sedona Sand and I hope that it turns out well.

Coil Bowl

This coil bowl I was actually really proud of, and I was taking my time with this one as well. But one day when I went back to it it had dried out beyond repair, so I had to start over. I'm excited to see how this project comes out, hopefully I like it.

Finished Broken Cube

Okay, so I already posted the start of this project, before it was glazed. Eventually I got around to glazing it, I didn't seem to finish glazing the cube though, and a couple weeks later I picked it up and just threw another glaze, and hoped that it went well. I mean, I don't think that it looks too bad, it's just a little spotty.

Bob-omb

I actually took a lot more time with this project than I have with any other project, because I actually wanted to try to get it right. I made this Bob-omb with coils, we were assigned to do one coil bowl where it is apparent that it was made with coils and one bowl where it wasn't. This bowl is a representation of the coils that aren't noticeable. The only thing that I wish I had done differently was actually use white glaze on the white parts, but it had slipped my mind.

Slab House


This mushroom project was my favorite one that I had done, that was until I saw how ugly the glaze came out to be. At least the white glaze looks pretty nice in this picture, minus the tiny spot in the glaze.

Broken Cube


An obviously incomplete project, is my broken cube project. When I had first started this project it was scary to break down the cube that I already made because abstract is hard for me I guess? But it's fine, my personal favorite part of is it the ATTEMPT that I made at adding a dinosaur to the back.








My Pumpkin

This pumpkin was originally gonna be fit with the logo of, the band, PVRIS. Once I started to attempt to add their logo I realized that it was too tough, and I have no idea were the idea of Pac-man came from, but it works.

My First Time on the Wheel

Going on the wheel was just another thing that I had put off for as long as I possibly could, I was just convinced that I was bad at ceramics in general, and that going on the wheel would be even worse. I'd like to think that this piece came out pretty well, with a massive amount of help.
