Beginning Ceramics
Ceramics Introduction
My name is Lia Ditslear, I have not worked with clay since middle school. I hope I can get back into working with clay and 3D Art. This would be a great opportunity to find my style in Ceramics. I do a lot of drawing so this will be a change I’d like to explore.
Play with Clay
For this piece I created a dog because I wish I had a dog, they are friendly and will love you unconditionally. I like the tongue because it makes it my artwork.
Bootcamp #1
Challenge Pieces
Glazed Box and Bowl Pieces
Wheel Project
I unfortunately could not complete a wheel piece for 2nd Semester but from the 4 days I was on the wheel I learned quite a few things-
- Centering the clay is essential to a successful piece, of it is not centered the result won’t look how you wanted.
- Locking your arms so that they are tucked up against your legs gives more leverage and control.
- It does not take a lot of strength to form your piece into what you want.
- It takes a ton of practice to get wheel throwing down.
