I have been meaning to post this for a while now. I wanted to share a reflection on this semester of ceramics with you. For our final we had a critique and pot luck. It was short but sweet for me as I had to bring Cupcake with me, since her daddy had a headache. I was only able to stay for about 2 hours. Anyway, as a final thought on the semester I thought I'd share a short video from the previous week featruing my favorite firing process: Raku. And a few images of my work further below.
Unfortunately, Raku is not food safe so I don't use if often, as I prefer my pieces to be highly functional. Here's the short video I had my sister take during that last week of the process.

Favorite bowl.
Coleman Purple (it runs a lot!) and black pearl glaze.
Large serving platter, matching glazes.
Button planter, imprinted texture of actual buttons and clay "button" additions
Last but not least! my first attempt at a tea pot.
Not great but not bad. I used low fire glazes (like you'd find at As You Wish).
Chocolate Cupcake with a cherry on top, candy cane handle and melted mint chocolate chip ice cream cone.
More mushrooms.
Another large platter.
This piece was one of my last, and I just got it. I had to wait until summer session for it to be glaze fired!
I think that's all my work. Hope you enjoyed it!
