For this piece I used smooth sculpture and I just wanted to make a plate. I could've made this better by making it thicker so it would have support on the sides. I didn't use this slump mold because I didn't have a plan to use it, I also didn't use a bag under it so it stuck to the plate.
Relief Carving
For this piece I used smooth sculpture and the underglaze royal blue. I really like this piece, I tried to make it simple enough to where I wouldn't mess it up but I also tried to make it cute so I could use it. If I were to make this again I would spend more time on the carving and cleaning it up.
-Flatten out clay enough to carve into
-Slump mold
-Lightly carve outline/plan
-Carve outside of anchor (deepest part)
-Carve higher parts of anchor
-Lightly carve rope (Highest part)
-Make details on rope
-Clean up everything else
-Fire and glaze
For this piece I used the clay smooth sculpture and the glazes Cotton tail, Rawhide, and deep lake. I liked this piece a lot and I think I did well on painting it and making the design. If I were to do this again I would focus on the dimensions more and make more details.
-Use extruter to make small coils
-roll coils smaller with hands
-slip and score each coil
-connect coils together in different designs
-glaze
Coil Building
For this piece I used smooth sculpture and the glaze lagoon. For this piece I wanted to make a functional bowl for berries. I didn't do well with this piece and I was just debating getting rid of it but It held together. Next time I would focus more on slipping and scoring everything and making sure it wouldn't fall apart.

Plan:
For this piece I used smooth sculpture and the glazes lagoon, irish luck, and java bean. For this piece I wanted to make a cup or vase for flowers. On this piece I did well on building the cup. Next time I would make sure my clay isnt too wet so it will stand when I make the bottom
For this piece I used venus white and the glazes clear, rosey posey, and pinky swear. For this piece I wanted to make an orchid that could hang on the wall. I did well on the shapes of each slaba dn connecting them in the right positions. Next time I would spend more time on the glazing and make it more detailed.
