Ceramics Elective
I began the Ceramics elective last monday. In the past week I have learned so much about ceramic practice, form development and techniques.
Last week we chose two objects from a selection and created ink drawings which were informed by these objects!
My objects were a husk off a fruit and a wooden lemon zester. After the ink drawings we used wire and paper to further inform the studies and create 3d pieces which would then be translated into clay.
The objects were placed into the kiln on Friday morning to fire over the weekend.
Today we will be glazing and hand painting our pieces.
Paul Klee is being used an inspiration for color in our pieces.
