Jessica's Ceramics Portfolio by Jessica Lopez

First project

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-09-06 01:01:36 UTC

I need to even out the rim a bit more and make floor thinner

project 2

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-09-28 18:29:55 UTC

I need to slow down when lifting the walls so the lines are straight and not corkscrew

project 3

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-09-28 18:31:01 UTC

Im very proud of this project if anything I need to practice trimming the rim because I did remove a lot of clay with my mistakes.

project 4

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-09-28 18:32:19 UTC

I started practicing making bubbles, I'm proud of it but I do need to keep practicing and this project also looks overly wet compared to the others so maybe less water.

project 5

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-09-28 18:33:24 UTC

I was able to achieve more of a bubble look and have the project dryer than the last if anything I need the floor to be thinner but wall thickness was great.

Project 4 wall thickness

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-09-28 20:13:34 UTC

I need to make it thinner

Project 3 wall thickness

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-09-28 20:14:35 UTC

I can make the floor thinner but the wall thickness is even and not to thick

Project 2 wall thickness

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-09-28 20:15:38 UTC

I need to flatten out the floor and have more of a bowl rather than vase

Project 5 wall thickness

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-09-28 20:35:02 UTC

Walls are way to thick I need to lift more and also make sure the wall thickness is the same the whole way through

First project wall thickness

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-09-28 20:36:58 UTC

Im very proud of this project but I could try to lift the walls a little more to make it thinner

First double bubble tool holder

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-10-30 02:14:26 UTC

I need to work on balancing out my spices to where there are no wobbles and it allows to to trim the bottom evenly I also need to make sure the the rim is flat and straight so that can also help me trim better on balance

Second double bubble tool holder

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-10-30 02:16:46 UTC

I think this time when cutting my price off my board the floor was a little thin and risky so I need to learn to plan better when it comes to that and also I trimmed when it wasn’t perfectly centered so the foot to mg was kind of of center so I will do better next time.

Next time I need to let the small spaces dry before I start detailing to prevent little burgers on my price and also practice certain techniques for carving

Pt.1

Pt.2

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-12-12 00:43:23 UTC

My first mug it was a long and difficult project but I learned and got to practice handle making which is definitely not a strength but I will continue practicing in order to improve. Also I got to use this time and I improved my carving but I do need to go back and touch up the line at the top so it is even

jessicaglopez2333 — 2024-12-12 00:45:58 UTC

This is my first big project when I took the time to separately make a ceramic save dollop to be able to attach and score to my bowl after carving some cute designs at the bottom and at the top added some sea like barnacles for detail

jessicaglopez2333 — 2025-03-28 13:26:15 UTC

I hand made this bowl for a while and used Mexican ceramic inspo which gave me the idea for the side Handel's and the for ring stand and I also got the idea to use brighter colors to show more culture and the flower I added is very symbolic in Mexican culture and I thought it would be a nice touch to the project. What I wish I would have done differently would be to do a more detailed and textured flower and to also even put the rim to be more flat that it is now.

jessicaglopez2333 — 2025-03-28 13:27:22 UTC

I found the inspiration from this bowl on Interest I started by making a soft square shaped bowl then after I rolled out multiple worm shaped peaces at different lengths then molded them on the bowl to create different dimension and textured to make the bowl more interesting something I wish that I would have done differently would have to be the timing that I molded it I would have done it at a time that it wouldn't have cracked

jessicaglopez2333 — 2025-03-28 13:27:47 UTC

I am very proud of the glaze on this bowl but was very disappointed when it cracked in the bottom and no liquids will stay in it so next time I'll try to fix that however I can

this bowl was very fun the make I was very proud of the wall thickness all the through out and I really liked the glaze color

jessicaglopez2333 — 2025-03-28 13:29:03 UTC

I loved the glaze on this bowl it came out a little runny but I feel like it looks better this way with the swirls in the wall because it gives it a peacock look.

jessicaglopez2333 — 2025-03-28 13:29:48 UTC

this was probably one of my favorite projects because of the wall design and how the glaze runs over the edges to show the disighn I also really loved how the rim looks man made and gives it more of a natural bueatsy and also the touch of holes for the chockstick for my ramen bowl.

jessicaglopez2333 — 2025-03-28 13:30:06 UTC

I really am proud of this bowl because the first time I attempted it, it did not go well and it ened up breaking so I tried a different method by making the bowl first then doing the carve out and it took a lot of time and effort and its really just a pretty and different piece I am proud of and also the one thing I would change would be the cut outs at the bottom so that the rim from the inside would look circular and not so random.

jessicaglopez2333 — 2025-05-27 21:47:33 UTC

I really love this planter I’m planning on adding my some bright blue china plate and adding little flowers across it to try a new method because I don’t have the best luck with glaze and the china blue is my favorite color

jessicaglopez2333 — 2025-05-27 21:49:40 UTC

This is my chip and dip I had some bad luck with the glaze but I really love how it looks abstracts and has a distinct look from others I’m actually really excited to show people because of how unique it is
