I want to approach my project with the pinching technique. I just don't know what to make yet. Have a sweet tooth but also want a mug for everyday use.
Humans have been constructing ceramic pottery for over 10,000 years. There are various techniques to create pottery. Coil pots became prevalent in areas where agriculture was expanding. The coils are rolled out of clay, scored, slip is added and they are pinched together. The pots would store grains, crops and seeds for the next planting. These pieces can be distinctively different from one another due to the artist’s creativity.
The China in my house is Mikasa brand. It is from macy's and been in the family since my parents got married in 1988. It was a wedding gift from my mother's Father. It is a white and on the rims has a gold accent. The design is a gorgeous flower.
This week I chose to blog about this particular piece. It appears it was created using the wheel method and the artist cut different variations to create the design. This may be my favorite piece I have seen yet. I think the intrinsic design is unbelievable. I like how this work of art has a rustic feel to it. It almost appears as it was created with deer antlers. I feel that it appears different than the pieces we are normally see and that is what draws my attention to it.
