Artist Statement
This semester in Elements of Ceramics, I was inspired by the sky. I used stars on my bowls to represent the night sky and I painted them the color of the sky during the daytime. I decided to create bowls for the final show because that was my favorite type of piece to create and that is what I felt most confident making. To create these bowls, I threw them and trimmed them on the wheel, then, while they were still leather dry, I drew and carved stars around the bowl. I then fired them and glazed each bowl with nine coats of “Indigo float” and “Arctic blue” glaze.
