In my Problems in Ceramics class, we are asked to create a "Personal Series." I have created several this semester. My fourth and final personal series is my favorite, and something I have been constantly thinking about and sketching since the middle of about October. I used Domestic Porcelain to create forms on the wheel, which I then altered the bowls and carved some small holes along the edges. Once they were bisque-fired, I glazed them with Cone 10 clear glaze. After some experimenting with clear glazes I found the perfect glase to let the Domestic Porcelain’s pure white come through. After the glazing, wire and beads are added along with ribbon. These are some of my favorite pieces simply because they add unexpected details to something that can still be somewhat functional (i.e. candy dish). I ended up making six of these bowls.
