Spring Show 2018
Spring 2018 Artist Statement
Before taking elements, I had never touched clay before. I enjoyed learning how to throw on the wheel, trim, and glaze my work. For my show, I made different size bowls all with a white lip and a colorful base. First, I crafted my bowls in similar size and shape on the wheel. I dipped the lips of the bowls in white glaze then dipped the lip in wax. Next I dipped the entire bowl in a colorful glaze, but the lip remained white. I was inspired by a picture of a bowl that I saw on the Internet. The bowl looked really cool and elegant but also very simple and something that I was capable of doing. My bowls will be good for making dips, eating cereal, and will be good to put dinner food in.
