Clay!

I'm so excited to be doing clay! Working with wet clay is my favorite thing we do throughout the whole year. Clay is the one thing in art that I found to be most enjoyable. Being able to work with a slab of literally wet dirt and be able to bring it to life is something special. Working with clay gives the opportunity to be able to create something that is your own out of limited material. This year I am working on a set that symbolizes my family, our heritage and our strength.  The pieces are 2 plates, 2 serving dishes, a bowl that has been crafted as a gondola and a leaning tower of Pisa cup. I Incorporated  an Italian theme, because that is something my family is proud of!  Now that my pieces are created, it is time to fire and glaze!
