I threw this plate on the wheel and it is glazed in half white and half blue-ish hue glaze.

I threw this plate on the wheel and glazed it in half white and half mystery #2. For some final touches, carved a little heart in the middle.

I ended up really liking this bowl. It's wheel thrown with Turkish Amber as a base and a blue color glaze on the lip of the bowl so that it could have a really cool run effect.

This bowl is wheel thrown with Cappuccino glaze with the rim in Selsor Chun or Robin's Egg. Although you can't see it at all, I attempted to carve in the lyrics " 'Cause I know that it's delicate" from the Taylor Swift song Delicate. However, I think that the glaze was a too thick and the carving was too shallow.

This turned out to be one of my favorite bowls. It's wheel thrown with (what I think) is Antique Blue with some Robin's Egg and the rim was lightly dipped in White.

This bowl is my most simple, but it's still cute. It's a wheel thrown bowl with a linh-sanity glaze.

After throwing the bowl and letting it dry a bit, I carved a plant design all around the bowl. Then, I glazed it in Panama Red and was a little surprised when it came out a beige and purple.

I carved a "tropical" design similar to one that I saw on Pinterest. Then I dipped it in blue or green celedon, but it came out purple, however I still really like the color.

I threw a barrel shaped mug on the wheel and then made a rounded style handle to attach.

I threw a tiny tea cup on the wheel and then made a tiny handle for it.

Here is a side view of my mug in which includes a view of the design and the handle.

Once my handle was secure and dry enough, I began on carving out the design. Referencing the lyrics "Devils roll the dice, Angels roll their eyes" from the song Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift. I carved it in a cursive style with devil horns on the word "devils" and a set of dice near the word "dice". I made sure that the carving was clean and well executed.

To create a relatively simple handle, I rolled out a piece of clay and cut a strip that would be both thick and long enough to fit my mug. From that strip, I took the top part of it and slip-and-scored it to the top of the mug and then connected the bottom part of the clay strip, to the bottom area of the mug. From there, I smoothed out the clay so that it was a seamless transition from the handle to the mug.

I decided that I wanted to do a hand built mug because I was not capable of creating one on the wheel yet. I used a stencil that would allow to to create the shape that I wanted. First, I rolled out a piece of clay, took the stencil and put it on top, and then cut out the shape. Next, I cut the ends so that it would perfectly connect and slipped and scored them together. Then, I roughly measured how big of a bottom circle that would be needed to fit the shape of the mug. Finally, I let it dry a bit before working on the handle.

I wanted to do a fairly simple mug shape, since the majority of my focus was on doing the carving well.

Here is the actual lyrics, I directly used these words and carved them in a calligraphy style into the mug.

I saw this piece of merchandise and absolutely fell in love with using the lyrics and imagery.

I ended up taking off the “swirlies” under the eyes because of the spacing for the dots around would’ve looked very uneven. Another two parts that I added were the moon and sparkles because of the lyrics “this night is sparkling”. Then I carved “enchanted” on the chin after the song and I wanted to see if calligraphy would work with the clay.

The side pattern was finally sculpted and more parts were starting to come together

This was when I started a rough sketch of what I was thinking

I started with a very basic shape first

Taylor Swift’s song Enchanted Aesthetic board

Taylor Swift is a huge inspiration of mine and a song that has been stuck in my head has been Enchanted. The song itself is very whimsical romantic. I could always imagine the song fitting perfectly in a masquerade ball and I wanted to give a nod to the feeling and some of the lyrics in the mask.

Here is my tool holder. I wanted the structure to be relatively simple because this was our first project. From there, I really liked the idea of having a sea otter (one of my favorite animals ever) hugging the container. I was nervous about how to go about it so I just threw myself into it and tried what worked and didn't. I ensured that the otter piece is well dug out and has multiple vents throughout so that it can be fired safely.
