Salmon Pencil Cup (Ceramics 1-2)

Personal Comment:
This is my pinch pot project, it is entirely made out of clay. I started by pinching the clay to make he pot, then I carved out every individual Salmon and attached them all individually. My favorite fish has always been the Salmon, because of its distinctive shape and red-green body colors. I also needed a pencil cup for my desk so.....ta da....solution. This is my first time glazing so it didn't turn out quite the way I had planed but, overall I'm okay with the end result. It now resides on my desk at home holding pencils.

Tortoise Wire Sculpture (Ceramics 1-2)

Personal Comment:

This is my pet tortoise Humphrey

This is a wire sculpture I made, out of wire, paint, beads, and news print. It was my first project in ceramics. I started by sculpting the shape of the tortoise using various objects such as spray bottles (for the feet coil shape), Pliers (to shape by hand), a flash-light for the head and I even carved a carrot to be the shape I wanted for the tale. Using paper masheaa I wrapped the structure of only the shell of the tortoise with newsprint so as to create negative and positive space between the shell and the rest of the body. The sculpture is depicting my actual live pet tortoise
