Arctic Forget Me Not Ella H. Ceramics 1 Class of 2025
Before taking ceramics 1, I had taken a handbuilding class but I had only ever thrown on a wheel in my elementary school art class. For my winter 2021 collection I created a series of bowls and plates. I chose to do this because I wanted to create something I could actually use once I finished with the class. All of my pieces were thrown on the wheel. To glaze I started out with dipping the pieces in a white glaze. After letting that dry I painted 3 layers of Arctic blue. Then I took the plates and painted flowers on them with 3 layers of Sapphire Foam. I chose these colors because blue is my favorite color so I wanted to use blue. Iused Arctic Blue as the base layer of glaze because I wanted to use all blue for both the flowers and the background but I needed the dark blue to show up so I used a light blue as the background.
