While attempting to make the bottom even, I trimmed through. This was my first mug I had thrown, and I wasn’t super happy with the shape, so trimming through the bottom of this one means I will throw a new one I hopefully like better.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Need to pull more weight out of bottom, walls up fr bottom are even, but could be thinner.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Middle to top walls are even, bottom wall is slightly to thick. Floor is to thick, and has bump in it. Whole piece became uncenter during shaping. Good shaping for bubbles. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Floor is to thin, to much weight at bottom, top walls to thick.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Bottom wall is still a bit to thick, floor has bump. Floor thickness and middle to upper wall thickness is even and good.

While trying to trim the sides of the foot, I trimmed through the bottom. This was my first attempt at both trimming and my first double bubble.

# data[].attributes.body
Successfully trimmed double bubble. Bottom was thick enough to put a foot in, which I succeed with, without trimming through the bottom (again). Signed my initial, and re covered my piece to prepare for decoration.

# data[].attributes.body
Begun adding teeth the the top of my double bubble. My intended design is to make my piece seem somewhat like a mimic from DND, and im planning to add more teeth and eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
Was shown by Mr. Stout how to add gums to the teeth, adding more dimension and shadow to the piece. The teeth may help hold my tools, and stop them from spilling out. Also in progress of adding an eye to the bottom, which will be shown in next image.

# data[].attributes.body
Added eyes along the sides, and finished the teeth along the rim, as well as the detailing in the gums. Cant wait to glaze and fire it!

# data[].attributes.body
Here is my mug before trimming. While throwing, I decided to change the shape from my original plan of kool-aid to standard instead. I needed to take a lot of weight out of the bottom. I trimmed a foot and added my signature. I forgot to get after trimming pictures, but I do have pictures of the final decorations.

# data[].attributes.body
I managed to get all my decorating done in a class period, and made my handle during lunch! It’s meant to look like a geode is attached to the mug. I added a thumb rest in the handle for function. Im going to wait for it to become bone dry, then dry trim it to add more rock like texture. Excited to finish this piece soon!

# data[].attributes.body
My bowel, not trimmed yet. Planning to trim tomorrow, and I am thinking of adding an dragon scale pattern for the design, based off something I saw online.

# data[].attributes.body
Trimmed my bowel! Managed to add a foot, and signed my piece. I left the spiral design in the foot for the first time. I had very little weight to trim out of the bottom.

# data[].attributes.body
Started decorating! Goal is to have rows of these scale like shapes. Not hard to do, but time consuming. Hopefully will look cool with glaze due to depths and shadows.

# data[].attributes.body
Finished my final rows of scale! May clean it up a bit more, but for now the decoration in finished. Planning to glaze it all one color to bring out the shadows and highlights of the piece!

# data[].attributes.body
Glazed my double bubble. Dipped once in glossy black, and then one layer of spray in Jeannes purple towards the top and middle. Don’t know what it will look like after its fired, but im very excited.

# data[].attributes.body
Use the overall shape of the mask. Use the shape of the nostrils and the scale detailing.

# data[].attributes.body
Use the teeth and horns on the side of the dragons head, as well as the scale detailing above the eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
Use the horn shape, and head shape. Use the spikes near the eyes, the scales, and the fins on the side of the face.

# data[].attributes.body
Use the spikes coming out from near the mouth. Use the horns coming off the side of the face, as well as the ridge of scales separating the eyes. Use the overall head shape.

# data[].attributes.body
Possible horn shapes to add to my dragons. Add twists or grooves in the horns.

# data[].attributes.body
Another possible horn shape. Ram horns that curl towards the eyes of the mask.

# data[].attributes.body
Another possible idea for horns. Curl the horns with wide twists.

# data[].attributes.body
Possible horns idea. Have the horns come out and then in and up, connecting towards the top.

# data[].attributes.body
Use the shape of the 4 eyes, and add more then one set of eyes to my mask. Maybe add the circle detail in the middle?

# data[].attributes.body
Make the ear similar to the shape of a goat ear.

# data[].attributes.body
Rolled and cut out the overall shape of the mask. Added the markings where I wanted the eyes to be.

# data[].attributes.body
Started adding and subtracting from my mask. The goal is for it to look like a dragon. Added eyes, nostrils, spikes, and scales.

# data[].attributes.body
A possible idea of what I want the final mask to look like.

# data[].attributes.body
Added ears, and spikes under the smaller set of eyes. Used the bottom of paintbrushes to indent dots under the eyes and down the face, as well as on the ears. Added eyelids and carved out pupils on both sets of eyes. Smoothed everything out.

# data[].attributes.body
Blended the eyelids into the above scales. Added holes in the ears to add earrings later. Added more dimension to the nostrils. Added more definition around the spikes on the head and under the eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
Rolled out some clay and made two horns, as well as hollowed them out. Added texture by making scratches, and the going over it with slight pressure and water to partly seal up the cracks. Planning to add holes on the outside of the horn to not only release air, but to glue crystals in later to match the earrings.

# data[].attributes.body
Smoothed the mask out more with water. The ears were cracking, so I used more clay to secure the further to the mask. Added holes in the spikes to add beading to after firing, and the release air while in the kiln. Added and redefined the dots around the eyes. Redefined the eyes themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Added holes to my horns to let air out. Planning to glue beads in the holes in after its fired and painted.

# data[].attributes.body
Hollowed out the mask, and in the process, the ears started falling off and the mask started snapping in half. I took off the ears and plan to reattach them later, and a re-supported the part of the mask that was snapping with clay in the front and back. Started redefining the parts of the mask I patched with clay.

# data[].attributes.body
Attached the horns using notches, and for extra security, added clay and blended it in. Reattached the ears. The last things I need to do are redefine the areas I covered with clay, and smooth out the rest of the mask.

Finally came out of the glaze fire! The purple seemed to stay its orginally color, but didnt show up as strongly as I thought would, which created this cool effect where the purple seems to meld with the black. Lovs how this piece turned out! Im very proud of it, and now I finally have something to hold my tools in!

# data[].attributes.body
Glazed my mug! Cant remember what glazes I used, but I know I used charcol grey and sprayed something else on top. I then wiped the crystals and painted on the with Hydrandra and Blue Oyster. Will see how it turns out!

# data[].attributes.body
Finally finished! Love how it turned out, alothough I expected the crystals to turn out more purple. It does still look like a geode, just not an amythest! I love how the combo of the glossy and the satin glazes look and feel. So proud of this piece!

# data[].attributes.body
Used old forge blue as the base, and sprayed peacook green on the top, mostly near the rim. Exicted to see how it turns out!

# data[].attributes.body
Finally finished! Love how the glazes turned out, maybe my favorite glaze combo I have tried so far! Love how the glaze highlights the depth in the piece. Super proud, and excited to eat out this bowl!

# data[].attributes.body
Finished cleaning everything up! I tried to add more dimension to the middle of the face and the area above the eyes, as well as added more dots. Loving how the mask is turning out!

# data[].attributes.body
Finished mimic bowl! Inspired by my double bubble.

Love how it turned out. I started by throwing a wider bowl. I added the eye on the inside, and then eyes symmetrically on the outside. I then added big teeth on the rim between each eye, and small teeth on the rim above each eye.

Then, I glazed it! I chose high gloss black as my base, and I wanted to try out bubble glazing. My friends recommend cherry red for the bubbles, so thats what I did. Love how the glaze turned out! It also won best of the fire, which im still shocked about. It was a huge goal of mine to win best of fire, and I cant believe I actually achieved it!

Overall, this is my favorite piece I have made so far, and I think this is the one bowl im gonna keep :]

# data[].attributes.body
Strawberry bowl! Loved how it turned out.

I threw a smaller more ramen bowl looking shape. I then carved little divots into it, where I stuck clay ovals to look like seeds.

I then glazed it cherry red, wiped the seeds, and covered the seeds in iron oxide.

Overall, love this bowl! Im gonna sell it, so I hope someone likes it as much as I do :]

# data[].attributes.body
Finished Ramen Bowl! Made this one specially for Noodle-rama, so I wont be selling it.

To make it, I threw a v shaped bowl, and then used my fingers to curve parallel pieces of the wall inwards to hold chopstick. It ended up a bit smaller then I wanted.

Used Blue Hydrangea specialty glaze on the outside, and Blue Oyster specialty glaze on the inside :]

Happy how this turned out! Im excited to eat noodles out of it :DD

# data[].attributes.body
Finished pufferfish bowl! 2nd favorite bowl so far, only second to the mimic bowl!

To start, I threw a regular bowl, I just made it more round, and had it curve more inward towards the top. Then I used balls and strips of clay to make the eyes. I shaved some clay and added strips of clay around the trimmed down area. I then added fins to the back middle, and the sides. I made a bunch of spikes and slip and scored them, trying to keep them even with each other, and in a pattern.

For the glazed, I sprayed a base of Jeannes Purple. I then brushed on 3x coats of the specialty glaze Sandstone. After I let that dry, I brushed a little bit of dark flux over the spike and edges of the fins. I finally added some high fire brush on glazes to the mouth and eyes. Black foe the pupils and the mouth, teal for the rest of the eyes. Love how the glazed turned out, and im hoping to sell this piece :DD

# data[].attributes.body
FINALLY FINISHED! Love this bowl so much, im debating keeping or donating it, but im leaning towards keeping it.

I started with throwing a regular curved bowl. I then added the tongue. I made the tongue using a slab of clay, which I pinched towards the top, and added a curve. I then added and blended two small strips of clay towards the middle of the tongue, to represent it bending. To add texture, I wet the tongue and the paintbrush, and dabbed it with the paintbrush. I then made a bunch of teeth, added them, and used a eyeball tool to make the gums.

For glaze, I used Turkish Amber and Warm Jade, a killer combo. Sadly, the bisque fix didn't work, and the cracks on the side of the gums and tongue became worse. However, I still love how it and the glaze job turned out! This bowl is probably my second or third favorite I have made :]

# data[].attributes.body
I like this bowl!

Threw a regular bowl with no other detail, but I wanted to get creative with glaze.

I did High Gloss Black as the Base. I then added bubble glaze all over in Jeannes Purple, Old Forge Nuditea, and Lemon.

The glaze turned out nothing like I planed. No yellow or pink showed up, and no bubble glazed showed on the sides. However, the new purple and green color gives witchy vibes, which I love! I am planning to sell this bowl :]

# data[].attributes.body
Finished this bowl! Turned out very similar to what I envisoned.

Threw a regular bowl that didn't curve in as much as my others. I then coated the whole bowl in blue slip, as well as made a small duck that a coated in yellow, orange, and black slip. I slip and scored the duck into the center of the bowl.

One it dried, I carved vertical lines going into the center of the bowl. I then carved horizontal lines all across. Unfortunately, my duck fell off, but I planned to reattach him during the glazing process.

For glaze, I just used clear glaze, pooling more towards the bottom to attach the duck back.

I love how it turned out! The extra clear glaze pooled at the bottom made it look like there was some water in the pool, and I love the effect! Overall, its not my favorite bowl, but its pretty cool! Hope someone else wants to buy and it makes them happy :]

# data[].attributes.body
Started making it look like a dragon was plunging in and out of the plate using thin long logs of clay. Added two body pieces and a tail.

# data[].attributes.body
I surprisingly really like this bowl!

First, I threw a regular bowl that was taller and curved inwards. I was going to keep it like this, but I ended up having extra time and decided to add a rose in the middle since I wanted more practice sculpting flowers. I did this by making a base, adding a flat tall spiral to that base, and then adding flat petals to the spiral. During the bisque, the base of the rose cracked a bit, but nothing that went through.

For glaze, I really wanted to try reduction for the first time. I did a base of panama red reduction, and then dipped the lip in robin's egg. Im super glad it did this, and I loved how the robin's egg ran, creating a melting effect.

Overall, while this bowl was a combination of last minute ideas, I love how it turned out! Im planning to do this glaze combo again as soon as I can.

# data[].attributes.body
Added a head, horns, spikes, and scale texture. I added small wings, and used supports to stop the wings and head from breaking. To make the scale texture, I used a smaller hole puncher.

# data[].attributes.body
I removed the supports, added detail to the area around the spikes. I cleaned everything up and put it in the bisque fire :]

# data[].attributes.body
Made a moon and sun chip and dip. I started by throwing a regular chip and dip, and then molding the rim of the plate part when wet to make it look like the rays of the sun.

# data[].attributes.body
I then made the bowl into a moon. I used very small logs of clay and slip and scored them on in circle patterns. I then blended them in. I made more subtle craters using my finger and the end of a trimming tool. After, I used the end of a paint brush to add indents around the craters and then smoothed them out to add texture. I plan to use brush on glaze. Grey's for the moon, and yellows and oranges for the sun.

# data[].attributes.body
For my planter, I was inspired by a social media post I saw at the start of this year. It showcased planters with eyes, and the eyes would cry when the plant was watered. I really liked this idea, and I love sculpting eyes on things, so I added 3 eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
To finish this planter, I decided to go with the idea of the fates, shown in greek mythology. Each eye represents a different one of the fates. To show this, there is a line that represents a human life running through each of the fates. The first line shows the start of the life, and it is straight. The second shows the life itself, which is full of bends and turns. The third line is cut, showing the end of the life. I plan to glaze this is similar colors to greek pottery, with blacks and oranges.

# data[].attributes.body
Plate is out of the bisque! I plan to underglaze it, with the dragon rainbow, and the plate galaxy themed!

# data[].attributes.body
Finished my plate! I used underglaze, and I LOVE how the galaxy turned out so much. The rainbow dragon also turned out so vibrant and beautiful! Overall, I love this piece so much, and its exactly what I envisioned.

# data[].attributes.body
Love how this piece turned out! Me and Amy did have to re drill holes through the eyes and a couple of the drainage holes, but I still love how it turned out! The color combo is inspired by old greek pottery, since thats were the myth of the Fates is from.
