I first created the base shape of my pot using the coil construction technique.

# data[].attributes.body
I then smoothed out my pot using various clay tools and a sponge.

# data[].attributes.body
I then rolled out some clay and cut it into my desired shape, I chose this shape as it resembles a logo from an album I listen t

# data[].attributes.body
to join the cut-out to the front of the pot I used the scratch and slip method.

# data[].attributes.body
I then glazed my to with 3 layers of black glaze for the pot and 3 layers of a light blue glaze for the cut-out silloette

# data[].attributes.body
the problem I had with creating my coils for my pot was to make them the correct length and thickness.

# data[].attributes.body
the problem I had for joining my coils was that the clay was too wet and wouldn't stick properly.

These small sketches were developed as a way to explore different forms and textures for the design of my ceramic vessel. I used colour, shape and texture ideas fro the image collected in my collage.

# data[].attributes.body
We began to learn about how the clay would behave and what forms and techniques I could apply by creating some small test coil and slab pots.

# data[].attributes.body
we then created a small scale "mushroom house" to test different techniques and tools.

# data[].attributes.body
After doing 4 thumbnail sketches and trying out techniques with the test pots and mushroom houses I then drew my final design for my pot

Research images of different sculpture styles

After doing research on different styles and cultures we did an activity where we had to annotate these images.

Besides the joining of the clay, I had trouble removing my clay from the board to the clay wheel, and then again removing it from the clay wheel. The base of the pot got stuck and I had to seperate them with a wire tool.

# data[].attributes.body
I encountered problems smoothing my pot at first because it was my first time ever using clay, but as we progressed, I became slightly better.

# data[].attributes.body
I then filled out a worksheet evaluating all the problems and success of my pot.

# data[].attributes.body
In this task we used many clay tools including: Wire tools, sponges, rubber kidneys, metal kidneys and clay

# data[].attributes.body
these are some of the tools that we used to create our pots.

# data[].attributes.body
We used the clay wheels to work on our pots so we could work faster and use the wheel to know how wide to make the base.

# data[].attributes.body
this is the oven that cooks the clay and makes it become ceramic through a process called the bisque fire.

# data[].attributes.body
this is an example of what imprinted texture looks like, this is just one of the styles we looked at as a class.

# data[].attributes.body
To begin the ceramic project I started with research into Greek Pottery styles and forms and created and analysis of a well known Greek Vase known as the Niobid Krater.

Researching cultural differences in sculpture:

# data[].attributes.body
After researching the different pottery styles I looked at sculptures from different cultures, this sculpture is a classic greek style sculpture

# data[].attributes.body
we then looked at pottery from different centuries and see how much it has changed. this pottery style is called modernist.

# data[].attributes.body
this collage was created as a way to explore ideas of form, texture, function and style of my creative work for the ceramic vessel project.

# data[].attributes.body
we found reference images that we would like to base our pot on.
