Lidded Containers

Pinch Pot

Terra Sigillata + Clear Glaze







Altered Wheel Piece


The first time I tried to get on the wheel and make a bowl I had several trial pieces before I was successful. Here I combined several small bowls, and smoothed them with a burnishing stone, to create an interesting multipurpose dish.

Concrete: Latest Stage


This is what my group has been working on most recently. We used plastic molds from local retail stores to mold our concrete. Our aggregate was pine straw. We cut out foam circles and squares to make the indented design at the top.

Process...

Here is our mold of with foam cut-outs.

It was a messy job...

Our first trial piece cracked when we tried to pick it up.
We decided to use a different aggregate next time. (This
time we used kitty litter.)

Mixing the concrete was aggravating because we kept
putting in too much water.

Here we are double checking our measurements.

This is our final mold. We used plaster on the inside edges,
and duck-tape to seal the cracks. We also used leaves and pine
straw for our aggregate.
