connormccleary: Here’s a shot of my setup for tomorrow’s Ceramics critique. I’ll upload photos of the individual pieces tomorrow after class. These took me waaaay too long to make, but I’m really happy with the result. The patina on some of these is really fascinating. Unfortunately they’re not functional, because my Ceramics teacher is an art nazi who thinks that functionality immediately makes things domestic and banal and not Art. So I made some Art. Now I don’t have to post filler any more because that huge silkscreening project I was talking about is finally done!  Good Ol’ John. But seriously, these are really lovely. I like that they are all unique, with a varied yet cohesive glaze palette. View high resolution

This is a roughly 2-foot-tall ceramic apple core with a 3-foot-long stuffed fabric worm and a paper stem and leaf. It was my final project for ceramics class. View high resolution

My various efforts and attempts at using a pottery wheel. I accidentally got black glaze on one of them so I got frustrated and splattered black all over everything. View high resolution

This was my final project for ceramics class. I call it the “OctoPie”. The glaze turned out pretty different than I expected, the crust was supposed to be one solid colour and the tentacles were supposed to be red. However, I am still pretty happy with the way it turned out. View high resolution
