Spring 2018 Collection
Artist Statement:
For my final project I did a collection of oasis blue glazed pieces. My goal was to make a chip bowl with a smaller bowl for dipping sauce. Creating this took a long time and I had to experiment with lots of different sized bowls. Originally I wanted the smaller bowl to be able to fit inside the chip bowl but I eventually decided that they needed to be separate. The result was better than I expected. The chip bowl and sauce bowl both look remarkable and can serve their function. I also wanted to create a teapot and mug. Both of these were new forms to me and I needed to do research and ask classmates for help. Eventually I started to get a grasp on how to create them and started to experiment on the wheel. It took me a while to get the hang of it but I eventually created a decent mug. I then moved on to creating a teapot. I had to get help from Ms. Sanyour on this and the resulting product was very successful. Next year I will continue to improve my work in the ceramics studio.
