The Sea Creatures of the Ocean
For the 2022 Art Show I made 3 pieces and each piece has its own sea creature.I made these pieces because I really like to go to the beach and these pieces really gave me a beachy type vibe. I made my first bowl by throwing it on the wheel and then painting a crab with the glaze “Really Red” once it was bisque fired. After the bowl was bisque fired I then put a clear glaze over the top to give it the shiny look. I made my second bowl by throwing it on the wheel and then once it was bisque fired I mixed multiple colors like blue, teal, and purple to give it the ocean color and then painted a clam on top of it. I made my final bowl by making a pinch pot and then score and slipping the legs, head, mouth, and eyes onto the pot. After the pot was bisque fired I then glazed over the body with green and the eyes with black and white. When viewers see my body of work I want them to start to feel that beachy kind of tropical vibe as if they are on vacation.
