Name Tile Critique

I like how well the colors of the glazes I chose look together. I can improve my future projects by making sure I'm smoothing over places where I have scored and filling in those lines. This project helped me express myself and get into ceramics because this was the first project we started this semester.

Critter Critique

I liked everything about how my critters. I especially like how my use of colors made the surfaces look sort of textured. I can improve my future projects by paying extra attention to areas where I slip and score as well as checking what kind of glaze I am using (i.e. opaque vs translucent). This project helped me learn how to modify pinch pots, so they can become much more! ---My name tile is still in the kiln, but I gave it a dark blue glaze background, glazed the sun orange and moon yellow, and my name is in a sort of aqua color. I hope to post it on Monday!---

Glazing of Pinch Pot Creatures

Good progress on glazing I've finished my turtle and added a clear coat (not shown) and I'm almost done with my shark!! I love how they're turning out so far!!!

Pinch Pot Critique

I liked how my choice of different glazes made my pots more interesting. I can improve my future projects by making sure I apply 3 even coats of each glaze and making sure I smooth out all of my sharp edges. This project helped me learn how to make pinch pots and use glazes.
