Ceramics 1 -- Abstract Landscape


Our assignment was to do an abstract work. I chose an abstract landscape. To get all of the different clays I went to the recycle barrel, pulled out handfulls of different colored and different textured clays, put them on plaster slabs, dried them out and wedged them into workable balls. I then used these in the construction. Notice that the work did break in the kiln. I made it too thin. I am mounting it on plywood so it can be used. Here are the details:


Project: Abstract/enigmatic landscape
Method: Coil/pinched construction
Clay: Various clays of all colors and textures
Slip: Chrome and red iron oxide slips applied and scaped away
Glaze: Applied with brush: Lefever Black, Zeller White, Utah Red, Golden Yellow, Shino, Salt Lake Blue
Size: 17 inches x 17 inches
