Ceramics! Fall, 2012














 Porcelain Family :)
Porcelain Stack!

I forgot how much I missed ceramics until I sat down the second day of class to throw on the wheel for the first time in 3 1/2 years.  I love how calming and peaceful it is to pull each piece up, some working out and some not as much.  I also love getting my hands dirty-you know how they say the bigger the mess the better the cook? I say the bigger the mess the better the artist.  I always looked forward to this class each week.  I experimented a lot with overlapping glazes to see what they would look like when fired, and loved the results.  These images are just a few of the pieces I made this year in ceramics, and they are the pieces I haven't given away as gifts yet.  I made over 30 pieces this year, and I enjoyed it so much!  I also learned how to make porcelain, which is a lot like clay, only a lot softer and a lot harder to work with-and I love it!
Overall, it was a great class, and I can't wait for advanced ceramics next semester! :)
