Unexpected Variations
Collin Hennessey
Ceramics 1
Class of 2024
This is my first ceramic semester and I have never thrown before. I created a bowl, plate, dish, and small vase. I wanted to make the bowl and plate because that’s what we worked on in class on the wheel and I make the other two because I wanted to experiment with a more complex design. I threw all of the pieces on the wheel and then trimmed them on the wheel. I then used three glazes, red, orange, and yellow to glaze these pieces. I used a different technique on each piece, and I used those three colors because they are next to each other on the color wheel. All pieces except the dish didn’t turn out as expected with the glaze and the variation on the surface were not intended but were a welcome surprise
