My closed form project is about 2 inches tall and 2 inches wide. To make this project I had to practice how to close a form. This was difficult for me and took a couple tries to get and even at that, I was only able to create a small project. I also made sure to open the base all the way down to the bat so that it would not blow up in the kiln. I poked holes in the patterns of flowers to create a design and movement on the blank space. By using a light, pastel colored glaze, it creates a sense of balance between the delicacy of the flowers I made and the color of the project. The pastel color and flower pattern gives this project a very spring vibe.

My lidded project is about 3/4 inches tall and 5 inches wide. To make this project I had to practice using the calipers to measure and make sure the lid would fit the pot perfectly. After footing my pot I carved lines into it to create pattern and texture. I put glaze in the carved lines I created to emphasize them and I used the same color glaze on the lid to create a sense of unity between the two pieces. This piece has a very rustic, natural feel due to my use of organic lines and a woodsy reddish/brown.
This is my large bowl. It is about 7 inches wide and 4-5 inches tall. In order to make this bowl I had to practiced keeping the bowl centered and wide. It was hard for me to focus on pulling it wide instead of tall. I used the rib tool to widen out and round the wall. In order to create contrast I used a dark color on the outside and a light white on the inside. To emphasize the round shape and create a sense of harmony with the outside color, I added a ring of the same dark blue to the bottom of the inside. The way the the white glaze mixed with the blue on the top edge of the bowl and ran creates movement. The dark blue that I used gives it a late night/ mysterious feel.
