Unit 3 projects
Slab mold
This piece was fairly easy. Something I would do differently next time would be to make sure the edges of the plate look even and smooth
​
plan:
-wedge a ball of clay
-flatten out a ball of clay by using slab roller
- put flat clay in a plate mold and let dry
- fire the plate
- paint with glaze
Coil vase
I like this technique a lot it was fun seeing it come together. Something I would do differently next time if I made this piece again I would be more careful to make the coils the same size.
​
plan:
- wedge out large ball of clay
-split large ball of clay into equal size smaller balls
- roll all the small balls of clay out until it looks like a thick string
- coil up one thick string to make a base for your pot
- keep adding on the thick sting top of one another while making sure you keep the inside smooth
- keep stacking them until your pot is as high as you would like.
Scerfedo
This piece was a little bit more difficult only because when I was carving the image into the glaze it was chipping and was hard to work with. something I would do differently if I made this again I would carve my piece while the glaze is still wet.
​
plan:
- wedge out ball of clay
-roll out a ball of clay in slab roller
- connect to two ends to each other of the flat clay to from a cup shape
- add a bottom to your cup
- let the cup slightly dry then carve in your chosen design
- once the has been carved then you can glaze
Choice project
This project was really fun for me. I loved being able to create anything I wanted. I would change anything if I did this again.
​
plan:
- wedge out large ball of clay
-roll out a large ball of clay on the slab roller
- cut out two almond shapes pieces of clay
-stick the two pieces together but ensure there is a hollow opening at the bottom and the middle
- set your almond shape to the side
-roll out another piece of clay on the slab roller
- cut out the fins for the fish from the flat clay
- connect your fins to the fish body (almond shape)
- set fishes body to the side
- get a medium-sized ball of clay for the fish head
- sculpt out your fish head make sure to hollow it out
- connect the head to the body
- fire your fish then paint
