During the second quarter I made multiple vessels throughout the weeks. One of my favorites that I made was the reindeer mug. I got the idea for the mug due to my previous project which was the polar bear mug and how they are suffering due to global warming. I wanted to make another vessel […]

In my independent project I am making one vase and one pitcher. I’m using the  stoneware clay for my vessels. Once the pieces are made I want to do sgraffito on the vase and 3-D flowers on the pitcher. For the sgraffito one I want to do a pattern consisting of flowers and leaves. While […]
