All About Me

Hey there, I'm Martha, a sophomore at Bishop Gorman High School. I am currently taking art 1 and ceramics 2. I signed up for ceramics 2 because I loved ceramics 1 and wanted to continue gaining new skills. My favorite class, other than ceramics, is art. At school, I am in art club. Outside of school I am a competitive cheerleader at Las Vegas Elements. My goal for this semester is to make some great projects and get good grades. 

House Glazing

Almost finished!

Fired House

My house was fired and I have begun to glaze! It looks really good!!!

Coil Pot Critique

I like how I was able to freely design with glaze on this pot. I can improve my future projects by adding clear to the inside, and making sure colors glazes are completely dried before I add clear. I learned that coil pots are really hard to make and that symmetry is difficult to accomplish.

Slab Box Critique

I am really pleased with how this project turned out. I especially am proud of how I tried some new colors. I can improve my future projects by applying more even coats of glaze. Also, I learned that you can fix broken parts of your project. For example, the stem of my umbrella broke off while it was bone dry, so I still fired it, but was unable to glaze and reattach it. I figured that I could paint it separately, hot glue it back on, and add a clear coat of nail polish to compensate for it not having a clear coat. It worked!

Glazed Slab Box

I finished glazing my slab box today, but unfortunately my umbrella broke. I also added a clear coat.
