Altered Bowls

A while ago, I posted a how-to guide for these bowls. They are whimsical and they get a lot of compliments. As my how-to guide shows, they are also not that difficult to make! These bowls all use the same blue-rutile glaze. Right now, I am trying to make baking dishes using the same technique.

Demonstration Project

Our latest project for ceramics was a Demo-Project. We had to come up with a presentation to explain to upper-division and lower-division students a technique that they might not already know. I taught the class how to alter the surface of a vessel to make it look "upholstered" with buttons. Feel free to use this demo, but let me know what you think about it in the comments!

For whatever reason, Blogger won't let me upload PDF files, so I'm stuck showing you screenshots of the PowerPoint Presentation. Check out the rest of the pictures after the jump!
