This is my cake stand! It broke in the bisque kiln because the base was too thick. I could've avoided this by pulling up more or trimming with a stick/number 7 tool. 

This is a theme choice plate. It is stained with dark blue and glazed with clear. The flowers are painted with different thicknesses of stain, making the big flower darker and the two lighter ones smaller and more faint. It was an experiment with thicknesses of stain. 

This is a theme choice pinch pot turtle. It is stained with green and glazed over with clear. The design of his shell was my first experiment with attaching 3D pieces to a flat surface. His eyes and open-mouthed smile are cute and animated. 

This is one of my theme choice projects, a plate. It is glazed with white and forest green. It shows my theme of experimentation because I used a new method of glazing: taping. Putting the tape down gave the project a great 
x-shaped design that contrasts with the darkness of the rest of the plate. 

This is my hand and wheel project. It is an altered vase pitcher with a handle that I pulled separately. It is glazed with clear on the bottom half and shadow green on the top. Because the green didn't drip, the line between the two colors of the project is very abrupt. The lack of blend between the two colors makes a split in the project and stretches it out, making it appear taller. This project fits in with my tentative theme of experimentation because I rounded the bottom of a project for the first time because the odd shape of the lip wouldn't allow me to foot my pitcher.  

This is my plate. It is glazed with dark blue, clear and shadow green. It has  big curvy crack in the middle, which actually adds a little character. This project reflects my theme of experimentation because I've never done anything like it before. I played with mixing the blue and green on the edges and making more severe angles where the two colors meet. The complex glaze complements the very simple plate shape. 

This is my lidded vase. The body is stained with green and red flowers with a clear glaze, with the lid covered in red flowers. Because the project is so simple, the glaze is much more busy and complex. The varying sizes and angles of the flower stems create movement throughout the project. 

These are vases for my set of three. They are all glazed the same: with stained green flowers around the lip and the whole body glazed with clear. The simplicity of the glaze emphasizes the differing shape between the three vases. One is much more wide, one gets very skinny at the bottom, and one has a very minor belly shape in the middle. They also very slightly vary in height. But their basic shape, a vase, makes the three complement each other. 

This is a wheel altered cylinder. I pulled out the corners to make the opening of the cylinder into a square. It is stained in dark blue with clear glaze over it. The geometric, quadrilateral pattern of the stain reflects the altered shape of the project.
