Class of 2023
I have always loved being outside so I wanted to decorate my pieces to types of nature. All of my designs consist of nature like leaves, trees, branches, and berries. I have enjoyed learning about making a teapot the most this year. So, I decided to make 4 different teapots. I loved the 4 step process of making the teapots and enjoyed improving them each time. To make my teapots and the correlating cups I threw them on the wheel. After throwing the body of my teapot, I would throw my lid and spout. Once my spout is connected and my teapot is dryer I will attach my handle. I waited for my pieces to be dry enough to do my surface design. I spent majority of my time surface design due to the small details I included. I chose my colors because I felt they best represent the colors of nature. Mostly greens, browns, and reds. I made my designs full of small detailed lines because of the details nature has. I want the viewers to take away how much time I spent on this and how I will be using it in the future.
