For my multi-wheel project I made a teapot. My teapot is a short and round shape with a very wide but thin handle. In order to make this project I had to learn how to make and shape a cylinder small enough for the spout which was very challenging working with such a small amount of clay. The wide, rounded handle creates a sense of harmony with the wideness and roundness of the pot itself. By splattering glaze onto the base blue color it created a sense of texture to an otherwise plain and smooth surface. The mixture of blues and greens gives the project a beachy, oceanic feel.

For my set of 3 I made 3 bowls of 3 different sizes, one large, one medium and one small. To make these bowls I practiced using a rib tool to widen out a cylinder into a bowl. These bowls have a lot of texture due to the ovals I carved out of them in a linear pattern. The way that all the carvings are the same size and in a line creates a pattern. Because I created the same pattern on each bowl it creates a sense of harmony between all 3 of them. The pattern on the bowls is very complex and busy so I decided to use a simple white glaze as to not distract from that texture. The white color of the bowls creates a very simple, but elegant feel to the set of bowls.
