Marble Candy Holder
Making the marble candy holder was pretty interesting because it required doing some steps I've never done before, like I had to use 2 types of clay;red and white. I had to wedge both of them together so it would look like marble. So after I was done with that I had to flatten it out and cut it in two. After that taking a towel and molding it into a shape was pretty easy. I put on feet and once it was dry and fired I put clear glaze on it and it was done, I really liked this project.
Big Bowl
Making this bowl was not very hard at all, it was probably the easiest thing to make, all I had to do was get a slab of clay and put it into a bowl shape it. I smoothed it out and I let it dry. After it was dry enough I put on feet so it would stand. Then came the fun part which was painting the bowl, I used 5 different colors; Black,Blue,Red,Green and white. I painted the whole bowl black and then in the inside I splatter painted it, then for the outside of the bowl I just painted random things. I personally think it turned out pretty good.
Coil Pot
The coil pot was very easy to make but it was time consuming, also it wasn't very easy to come up with a design. So for my coil pot I made little coils, little balls and many more things, it turned out to be pretty good but once I glazed it I did not like how the color turned out.
Square Mug
I made the square mug on the wheel, I just started making it like a bowl and once I was done I stopped the wheel and I pressed on the sides so it would look like a square, I was afraid that if I pressed on the sides too hard that I might break it, but it was fine. I painted it green and purple and I put it in clear glaze and now it is all nice and shiny.
Final Project
Making the 3 mugs was not too easy because it took me time to make them look the same it does take some practice but I finally got them and they look good.
Bottle
Making the bottle was not that easy because It was kind of hard bringing it up to make it the right height. Also squeezing it to make it narrow at the top was kinda difficult because if I squeezed to hard it would wreck it, and you had to be over it so it would be centered. Glazing it was the easy step.
Coil Mug
The coil mug was very easy to make, it made it in half a class period. All I had to do was come up with some type of design and put it all together, I just used small clay balls and swirls. After it was the right height I just let it dry and after it was fired I glazed it.
