This is just a basic vase I made for extra credit. This way that the width of the vase changes so drastically really shows how the sides were pushed out and how the whole project was constructed.
 
Here is just an extra project I made. I thought this was a really fun shaped cup. It started as a basic cylinder and I changed  it by adding ridges along the sides and a really large handle. This gave the project a lot of texture, therefor showing how the project was made.
 
This is another choice project. This is a basic vase, in which i glazed with white and added stain in the shape of a heart. This project really remained true to my theme because it showed how the project was made, by showing the way that the glaze ran in the kiln.
 
This was a vase I made as a theme choice project. I chose this project because i though that it really showed a lot of texture, which showed off the stucture of the project. I think that the black glaze really complimented the project.
 
This is my lidded project. it is a basic vase with a lid. I used a red stain on top of sheer white glaze to make the vase look thinner around the neck, therefor making its change in shape more noticable. Also the sheering of the white glaze gave the project a lot of texture.
 
This is my multiwheel. It is a teapot that i made using different techniques on the wheel. I constructed it in four parts, the vase, the lid, the spout, and the handle. This was glazed shadow green because it really gave it a lot of texture.
 
This a hand and wheel project. it is a basic cylinder with a handle, a mug, in which i transformed into a penguin. I used slipping and scoring in order to construct his features and glazed them based on what color the part of the penguin would usually be. For example I glazed the body black, the belly and eyes white, the feet and the beak orange, and the details on the eyes turquoise with a dot of dark blue stain. This allowed the character to really come to life, and with the addition of the penguin's features to the mug it added texture and a 3-dimensional effect to the simple mug. I also put ridges on the cylinder to add to the texture of the project. This gave the mug a unique look to it by making it look more homemade.
 
This is my wheel altered project. It began as a simple bowl, but was altered very simply on the wheel by having the sides being pinched in to create a more interesting shape. This project is 2 1/2 inches tall by 3 inches wide and was glazed to emphasize the "squareness" of it. I glazed this in a very classic way, I glazed the inside black and the outside sand. I also put a little sand around the rim of the inside to make it appear as if the black and the sand were blending together. This allowed the project to appear a little softer because it did not have such a harsh line between the two glazes.
 
This is my choice project. It is a bowl that measures 6 inches tall by 4 inches wide. I made this project to try and show how such a simple projct can be given both texture and dimension just by using different techniques of glazes, which in this case would include taping. I taped this project along the outside and glazed stripes and the inside black and the other stripes were glazed with the sand color. This allows the project to have some texture by the grains that appear in the sand. The project also gains dimension from the complex glaze which gives a small amount of  dimension to a simple bowl.
 
This is my wide project. It is just a simple bowl. It is 5 inches wide by 3 inches tall. This project was glazed in one of my favorite ways. I used the white and covered the inside and then dipped the top in shadow green very thick, hoping that it would drip down, which it did. This allowed the project to have a sort of fading effect which gave the simple project some texture.
