Artist Statement
This was my very first ceramics class, and I really enjoyed learning how to hand build, and throw on the wheel. For my art show, I chose to focus more on bowls and plates, because those are the most fun to make. I’ve always loved bright and colorful patterns, so I decided to mix a colored underglaze with shaving cream. It creates this beautiful, marble-like pattern which I just love. I’d say the most difficult part about this was making sure the underglaze transferred to the plate, rather than it just resting in the shaving cream. I really enjoyed this semester in ceramics, and I look forward to taking more classes in the future!
