This Wheel bowl project is by far my favorite project I've made. This is because of the glaze. Instead of the normal glaze I used the Raku, and I think it turned out great.

Now that its a bit into the school year, i feel like i'm back to being comfortable on the wheel and i think this project demonstrates that. One key skill I feel I have finally learned is the foot ring. In the past it has been something I struggled with but now it is much easier and more fluid. The design element i used was dripping the glaze from the lip over the outside. Creating the illusion the color had filled the bowl and seeped over the edge. The stark difference in color provides the art element.

We spent about a week making it, and although I have made coil pots before, I practiced was able to practice a bit and found it is a little harder than I remember. One of the major art elements we used was negative space seen at the bottom of the project. To me, the projects weight seems to be held up by the small spiral coils. Aside from that, the other most obvious art element is the color, we used both normal clay as well as red clay. The coils itself are the design element because it gives the surface texture.

There is clearly aspects that still need to be relearned and improved but for being my first project since I've been gone I am happy with the result. A new skill i tried on this project was pulling the wall without a sponge on the hand on the outside. Although I know pulling a wall is supposed to be done this way anyways, I have always found it easier with the use of a sponge. An art element i utilized was through the color. I did this though making the outside of the project light with drips of dark color seeming to flow from the inside of the project and over the sides. As for design this bowl is a fairly open bowl, with shorter walls that sort of flare out. Almost a plate looking bowl. When I look at this project I get a relaxed yet sharp mood due to the light and dark colors.
