This is a picture of my chawan bowl. One of the requirements for this project is that it had to have a swirl in the middle. It was very hard for me to get the swirl the way i wanted it but eventually I got it done. I also had a bit of a problem pulling this project because at the time i did'nt really have the hang of it all yet. The project then was finished off perfectly with the blue glaze I chose.

====This is my altered cylinder. It took me a while to make it because it was hard to get the curves just the way i wanted them with out it looking ugly. to make this cylinder i had to pull the clay up straight and then once i had a normal cylinder i had to put the curves in it by pushing on the sides to make them pop out.====

====These are my set of three matching bowls. The most time consuming part of this project was thinking about how i was going to have them match. I decieded to make them match by making them the same color and the same shape but different sizes. it took me a very long time to get them all similar but eventually they turned out well.====

This is my stella mug. The stella mug was the first project i did in ceramics and it took me a while to get used to it. I made this on the table. i had to take seperate sections of clay and then put pattens on them with my stamp and after that I had to connect them together. After i had my whole mug together I then had to put the handle on which was very tough but I eventually got it on.

====This is my slab vase. This project I also did on the table. I had to cut out two large peices of clay and then I had to put a pattern on them with my stamp. After i put the pattern on I had to connect the two sides and add a handle. Then finally i had to glaze my project. The glaze really finished it off and made it look perfect.====
