What is your tray set used for? How does your design make it used for that? My tray set can be used as a plate and a sauce holder, not a shot glass, as my teacher pointed out. I guess you could use the cup as something to drink out of, but it would be kind of ineffective. The BB-8 is flat for the best eating experience, and the cup is shaped to be dippable and holds a decent amount of sauce. How did you come up with your idea?My girlfriend really likes Star Wars, and I wanted to make her something that she could use instead of something that just sits around. I also wanted to do sgraffito, which lend itself well to space. Explain your process and materials. (3 or more sentences)My materials were just clear glaze, underglaze, and clay. I started by making the plate (it was a part of another idea that didn't work out so I didn't have to shape it that much). Then, I made the cup and glazed them both with underglaze. Then, once they were out, I put clear glaze on them and fired them again, and then they were done.
What did you find successful about your tile piece and why?I think that the bird came out well. I think I did his body well and I love the way the beak piece turned out. I also think his colors look really true to a real life peacock. I also think that coloring the grout was successful because it helps it look more cohesive. What might you have changed if you were to do it again?If I were to do it again, I would change the colors on the background, they didn’t turn out like I was hoping they would. I would also make sure that the wood doesn’t warp, since it warped my pieces and then the wood went back to normal What subject did you pick for each piece and why?For the pieces, I kept in mind that I was seperating one bird over a whole area, so each piece’s subject was a different part of the peacock.
Explain the process of pit fired ceramics and saggars.The first step was to make the shape you want out of clay, mostly using a combination of pinch pot and then coils. Then, we had to collect materials that we wanted to put in the saggar. We wrapped the piece in some tin foil and put the materials and chemicals in between the piece and the tin foil. Then, we put it in a trash can and fired it, making sure to trap the oxygen. How do you feel your piece was successful and how might you change it if you were to make it again?I think the coils were a good thickness and the bowl itself came out really well, even though it cracked. I would definitely redo the top if I did it again, it doesn't fit that well and looks kind of weird. What did you burn onto your piece?I put coffee grounds around the bowl, and eggshells on the top and inside the bowl. I also put some chicken bones around it, but the colors didn't come out since it didn't fire correctly.
