"Nature Attack!" Award Winning Ceramic Piece

Hello Lovely's! Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I have been hard at work with college, my crafts, and working! I'd thought I check back in and show off some of the crafts I have been working on

The ceramic piece above is just one of my many pieces I pumped out this last semester in my ceramic class. This "pod" piece won first place in the local college student art show. It stands two feet tall and contains 4 separate pieces. Each piece slides onto a rod that is connected to a wood base! The pieces were high fired and built using pinch and coil hand building techniques.

All were inspired by textures in nature! These textures were feathers, suctions cups on a sea creature, wood stumps and various mushrooms!

Thanks for looking! Hope you enjoyed! More ceramic projects to come!

Argyle Matching Dog Bowls... HANDMADE!

Hello. I thought I'd show you another one of my ceramic projects from my Fall Semester at college. I made these bowls for my royal and spoiled puppy. They turned out extremely well. One is a water bowl and the other is a food bowl. They are perfectly heavy, so they are extremely durable.

The bowls were pretty complicated to make in the designing stage. Figuring out how to get the perfect curves in the bone was probably the hardest part.

In addition to the actual structure, I applied some green-ware techniques and glazed the piece with some wipe away methods and such.

Thanks for looking! Comment and Critiques are strongly accepted and recommended!

 

Love, Chessles

Handmade with Love!

Here and now I introduce my very first official ceramics project! I call it the super delish in-edible cupcake. It is complete with rainbow sprinkles and a cherry on top!

As of recent I have decided to take up a ceramics class at my local community college. With all my other classes consuming my time, I found it essential to who I was to take a creative art class. So here I am posting my ceramic projects. 

The first assignment was to make an object using the solid technique. I feel my project turned out pretty damn awesome!

Expect more to come!
