I took wheel I this semester. I loved it. Below are a few pics of some of my work from the class. Yeah, thats right- only SOME. I've already given away several pieces and I didn't include for these photos some of my earliest (crooked and wobbly) pots. I'm definitely going to go on in pottery. I love the idea of making functional art. I love that people who have no interest in "art" are, without even knowing, pottery connoisseurs and critics. You are even if you've never thought about it. You have a favorite cup. A handle that feels just right in your hands. A bowl that holds the right amount of cereal for you that can be eaten in just enough time not to get soggy. I love that this art is used and considered every day.
This is my self portrait in the bottom of a bowl.
For my final in this class I made a set of desert plates and cups to go with it. I drew birds eating different confections on each of 4 plates. The cupcake is my favorite.
My class thought I made the most interesting handles. But really its just because I get bored making the exact same thing over and over. It inspires a lot creativity trying to make every coffee mug unique. It shouldn't surprise you that made ALOT of coffee mugs :)
We converted our formal dinning room into a pottery studio when my Dad got me awheel. Thanks Dad!
