Ceramics is a mandatory course for most Art majors at my university, and unfortunately, I was wholly unaware of it until this semester. I wouldn't have been able to graduate in May if I wasn't informed, insane! Regardless, I'm finding myself slowly growing to the thought of a semester long ceramics class. Our first assignment is to create either a square flower cachepot or a coiled clay pot. Since I was more interested in creating an organic form, I went with the coiled clay pot project. We have complete artistic freedom for our piece, so I decided to create a "dome" flower pot with a medium sized circular opening. The picture shows part of the process where I was bending the top and smoothing out the sides to create a uniform look. I proceeded to add more clay and furthered closed the opening to prepare it for the final smoothing and strengthening process on Thursday. Our class will proceed to glazing next week, I can't wait to post the finished piece!
