I wanted to create bold, curvaceous, symmetrical forms. I was inspired by my talented art teacher's work. After adding much to the clay heap to be recycled, and using every free period and every art class, I slowly improved. I did perfect my technique over time but disaster is never far away with ceramics when making extreme shapes. After testing many glazes, I was very happy to see my works finished. I can't wait to make more in the future.
