Ceramic 09'

Today is the last day of summer session~ we had a wonderfull pot lot party and an overall critique on our ceramic works... =) i am so glad i took this class instead of scupture, wooden crafts or something like that~ i think ceramic is way much more flexible that i can do what ever i want to do with the clays...

Here are three of my favorite works, the simpson's family, a rattle ball, and a turtle shape cup~ The Simpsons took me a lot of time, and i am so sad that i messed up my glazing... Q____Q i put too much stain paints on them that the clear glazing didn't match with the clay well... = =|| good thing is i could repaint and fire them again, i guess i will do that either this coming fall or next year~

The rattle ball is a success, which i am very glad. the sounds are very clear and loud... =) i used iron dioxide for the line glazing, and it turned out wonderful!!
