Wire Sculpture

This is a wire sculpture that I made in class. To make this I took wire and shaped it into a fish shape. The hard part was twisting the wire so that everything stayed in place. After I sculpted my fish I used paper mache to cover the body of the fish, leaving the fins to create open space. After doing many layers of paper mache, I let my fish dry. When it was dry I painted it red, orange, and yellow. Something that I would have done differently would have been to make the fish a different shape. This project took me around 2 weeks to complete.  

Pinch Pot

This is a pinch pot that I made in class. The glaze that I used is called green copper. On the sides of my pinch pot I have several different designs that are repeated around the pot. To make these designs I used the needle tool. To make this pinch pot I took a ball of clay and inserted my thumb in the middle creating a hole. Using your thumb and other fingers you pinch around the sides until you end up with a pot like this. Something I would have done different with this piece would be to make the bottom of it more level. This piece took me around a week to make.
