Creating my lidded project was a crucial experience in order for my future projects. My lidded project is about 6 inches wide and tall. While making the project, I reinforced the skills it takes to throw a vase on the wheel, as well as a lid. When you create a lid, you start it in the same way you would a planter. I learned that making several different lids in one sitting is really helpful when you are trying to create the perfect shape to fit your vase/lidded project. After receiving it from the bisque kiln, glazing it was another step. I hoped that the lid would pop out more, as it is a different color than the black. However, it does emphasis the lid more than creating it black would. Im proud of my lidded project.
This is my tall project, about seven inches tall and five inches wide. While creating this project, my pulling up skills in order to make the project taller than it is wide. When doing this, I came across the issue with holes in my project, due to pulling up unevenly. My project was thicker on the bottom than on the top, or the other way around. However, I ended up with a project that was the same thickness all around. When I was glazing, I wanted to incorporate the elements of color. I used turquoise glaze with white glaze, essentially staining the project (using light colors). This gave my project a sky/cloud picture. I will continue to make tall projects until I master the task.
