My favorite project to create was the monster because It started off as a simple pot then I could add anything I wanted. I liked the freedom and not so strict guidelines to this project.
I struggled on the exposed coil pot because it was hard for me too smooth the inside and contain the shapes on the outside at the same time. It was also hard to keep the spiral coils at the top standing beacause they were still really soft so I had to hold them for a while.
When I first came into ceramics I knew pretty much nothing about clay or ceramics. All I knew was you use clay to make pots then put them in the kilm to get fired and ready for paint. I learned that there are multiple types and techniques of ceramics, like using all the different tools and smoothing the inside and scratch and score and sgriffito and how to make coils. I very muched enjoyed this class this semester and had a lot of fun.
