Presentation Transcript

  1. First Ceramics Project! Altered Vessel

  2. Your Assignment • Create a vessel (cup, vase, bowl, etc.) built out of coils or slabs – I will teach you how to do both. • Create an altered surface, handle, extremities, and/or other addition • This addition must be something realistic, not abstract.

  3. Altering the Handle

  4. More altered handles

  5. Adding Textures

  6. Alter the surface to resemble an object (or objects)

  7. (This is too simple, but just an idea on how you can add to the surface and play with glazes)

  8. You can choose a loose interpretation of a vessel, more of an orifice or hollow space

  9. Addition on the inside

  10. Refresher steps for coil-building • Create your sturdy base out of a slab ¼” – ½” thick – NO THINNER! Otherwise it will crack or break completely. • Roll out your first coil, about as thick as one of your fingers. • Score the base, add a good amount of slip, and place the coil on the base. • Score the coil onto the base on the outside, and smooth on BOTH the outside and inside. • Continue by scoring the top of each coil, adding slip and then your next coil. • Score, smooth, and repeat.
