Monster Pot

For this project we created pots and chose a design of a monster to create. Mine was based on a robot/steampunk style monster with a top hat which had goggles, a nose, gears on the side, gears for eyes, and a weird sort of mouth. You could have created anything, and there were many different styles that were created. I cannot seem to load the picture of my pot onto google, I do not know why.

Greek Pot

The Greek pot was to make a pot based on Black Figure, Red Figure, oriental, and geometric. I chose Black Figure, painting the background red and then painting on black figures of Theseus and the Minotaur, painting the names on the handle with greek-style writing and doing a pattern at the top of the pot.

Coil Pot

The coil pot was made by rolling up pieces of clay and stacking them on top of each other. You created details with the coils or blended them together and then used rollers to put details on the side. Once it was fired you glazed it and used a shiny glaze. It was fired again, and then finished.

Pinch Pot

My Pinch Pot was of a turtle, in which I cannot find to take a picture of. Basically we made a pinch pot, a pot made with your hands, and then chose an animal to make the pot of. I chose a turtle, creating a head, legs, and a tail from separate pieces of clay. I then created detailed and scored on the parts. After it was detailed and fired I used black so paint it and then washed it off, the black remained in the lines. I then painted it green, it was fired again, and done.
