This project is a medium sized bowl. The sides pull up in an inverted cone fashion, and the walls are of about medium thickness. There is also a slight bulge at the lip of the bowl, this was a stylistic choice on my part. I chose the glazes because I wanted to make a more cheery and vibrant project, rather than my other projects, which use darker glazes. The certain unity in this project is shown where the blue and green seem to match together and complement each other on the outside. The white glaze and blue glaze on the inside also show a mild contrast in the light and darker colors. With this project, I believe it show a valuable skill I've learned of pulling up walls higher, and maintaining the center of the project. I was also able to make the bowl into the average size of a normal bowl. Personally, my favorite part about this bowl is the blue and green glazes on the outside of the project, as I believe they go well together.

This project is a very small cup or candle holder. The sides are straight with a small footed base. The glaze is light brown throughout the project, with a light blue flowing down from the top. the inside of the project is a darker blue, with light along the rim. The certain value is shown in the contrast of the light and dark blue an the inside of the project. Because of the difference of light brown and light blue, it creates a movement along the meeting of blue and brown. I did not learn any new skills with this project, but rather reinforced my ability to throw effectively and glaze multiple colors well. My favorite part of this project is the two seams between the light blue and dark blue, and the light brown and light blue.
this project is a small whistle made into the shape of a cheeseburger. I used red clay along the middle to give the impression of a the burger meat. I then used small triangular clay pieces to create the look of a square piece of American Cheese. For this project I used the glazes that came in the small bottles. They were used to accent the cheese and burger shapes. The yellow glaze makes the cheese stand out, and the red glaze helps the burger stand out. The balance of shapes and colors makes the pieces come together into the familiar shape of a cheeseburger. This also creates a sense of harmony between the sections. In this project I learned both how to use the small glazes, as well as how to create a whistle using clay. My favorite part of this project would have to be the overall design of it being that of a cheeseburger.
This project is a very small candle holder. It was initially supposed to be a cup, however I underestimated how much sea mix shrinks in the kiln, and so all that this project could really be used for now is to hold a small candle. I used blue glaze on the outside, with some black trim along the bottom. The inside of he project was glazed white with some added in green spots. The certain color is shown along the rim of the project, where the blue and white glazes meet and a distinct separation is formed, defining the inside and outside. There is a certain emphasis shown in these glazes as well; the dark blue and bright white is a main focal point when viewing the project. I did not learn any new skill with this project, however I did reinforce my knowledge of how much projects made out of sea mix shrink. My favorite part of this project has to be how small it is, as it seems very cute and pretty.
