i tried to throw on the wheel but it didn't turn out well it was very hard for me to center my piece but after i finally did it started coming together i didnt actually finish my piece because i ran out of time so i let Danai have it and she turned it into a bowl or something so it wasn't very successful
(In lieu of a finished product i have added a picture of e looking hella dumb on the wheel i hope this is acceptable)

soooooo i tried to make a vase butt it didnt turn turn out right it kinda fell apart and into its self (like me) soooo now its a fish there is no so imma link the history of the fish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish
i tried to make a vase but it didnt work so i guess no one inspired me but like thats ok Hagatha(the fish) inspired herself i made him out of two pinch pots i fused into one sphere then added a head and facial features the funny thing is i made this abomination anatomically correct he has a brain brain stem ear canals eyeballs optic nerves a stomach a heart and some other stuff i cant remember off the top of my head there is absolutely NOTHING figurative about this piece i just like him and hes cute #BlessUp
he was literally not successful at all i had way bigger plans with him but i ran out of time/lost interest but im still happy with the way he turned out literally this entire project was a difficulty but the worst parts where adding texture and when i was hiding his seem i accidentally added too much water to the clay and that made him slouch a little but i corrected it The process to make this is to make a shell of cardboard or foil and then layer it with newspaper stick the paper on with a mix of flour and water you repeat this 5-8ish times then you layer it with paper towles to make it smooth you let it dry out then you can paint the piece
in my group i helped cut the card board design the piece and hold the piece whie others painted it with the water mix the big issue i had was the goo used in the process i cant stamd the stuff and it limited my ability to help my group in the painting process I tried help woth other things but there is a point where its all painting and all i coupd do was hold the piece up but overall i think my group made some great pieces Ypu make a piece out of clay and bisque fire it then you select things to wrap your piece in based on the colors you want then you wrap your piece in paper and then a sagger like tinfoil then you put it in a pit and light it of fire and wait for it to cool then you brush the pieces off and seal them with enamel
i really like how it came out but if i did it again i would make the lip more thick I put acid, wire, fur, paper, salt, a flower and my own hair on my piece To create this piece i made two bowls about the same size amd made a thin clay lip to hold them together i made the blows by coiling clay
one dificulty i came had with this piece was makimg the lip it was ver thin amd kept breaking i emded up reducimg the size of the lip and attached it better my design has stayed the same for the most part but i hope to beable to make it more smooth and i hope to get good bright colors out of it |
