The collage was a way to bring together ideas for my piece through images. In these chosen images, they represented colour, shape, pattern and texture.

To research ideas for the project, I created an image analysis on Greek Pottery

For ideas for my vase, I researched into the Greek Pottery style, and looked at images of a Greek Vase known as the Niobid Krater

This is an example of an ancient pottery design.

To gather information on the styles of sculpture, I created a timeline consisting on various types of sculpture. Some of the styles feature in the timeline will help me when creating my final design

# data[].attributes.body
My final design was created from researching and looking at different styles of sculpture and pottery.

These are three sketches of ideas for my vessel. In these sketches I combined many different ideas and styles of pottery. This helped me decide on my final design.

This is the typeof clay we used to create all the projects.

This is a photo of the demonstrated skill of the coil technique - joining thin rolled sections of clay and using the score and slip method to join them.

To learn about working with clay before we began with our vessels, we created test pots demonstrating the three core techniques of pottery - slab, coil and pinch pot.

In this mini project, we created 'mushroom houses' using the coil and slab techniques to create the base and the roof of the house to experiment with joining the clay edges.

This is the first stage of the construction of my vessel. My design is round, so I started with a round base.

This is an image of the vessel mid way through construction. It has started to look like my design drawings.

A photo where I was in the final stages of my vessel construction. This is where the core construction of the vessel was formed, and then decorating of the exterior begins.

This is a photo of my vessel that had been smoothed over using a damp sponge and a rubber kidney. It was difficult to wrap the vessel so it did not dent the surface.

# data[].attributes.body
it was important to join the coils consistently so they were the same size; so they were strong and the shape of the vessel could be formed easily.

# data[].attributes.body
Glazing the final design was difficult, as it was hard yo get thin even layers of glaze across the entire vessel. It was hard to do 4 layers in the set time period as I wanted to get it finished before it was fired.

# data[].attributes.body
Glazing the mushroom house was difficult, as it was hard to determine where I had already painted. It was difficult trying to make sure the 3-4 coats were even, so it would not com out patchy when fired.

this is a photo of my finished product on the way to bisque ware stage. The clay is no longer soft and moveable anymore, as it has started the process of drying out to go into the kiln. This time period was difficult since decorative features could not be attached/it was hard to wrap and unwrap.

This is a photo of my workspace set up for the construction of my vessel. I built my work on the banding wheel which allowed me to move the vessel around to work on different sides more easily.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my test pot where I used positive and negative space. I cut away clay to emphasise the positive space in the design.

These are the common tools used to create the pottery creations. Various tools do different things, they have loops, curves and edges suited to decorate pottery designs in different ways. Sponges and kidneys are used for smoothing.

This is an image that explains the three main stages that the vessel has gone through in the construction process. it was important to focus on the firing and drying times for each stage so I could meet deadlines for the project.

This is a picture of three pottery designs with textures printed into them using a texture stamp. This was one of the techniques available to decorate our vessels with.
