Ceramics: Basic Shapes

In my ceramics class our first project included making basic "pillow" and "cone" shapes out of clay and then attaching them into a sculpture. This is how mine turned out and now it is in the kiln getting fired so we can start to glaze it next class. It's been great getting back to doing some hand building with clay. I hadn't done it since high school and I've been reminded how much I LOVE clay. It's just so fun to touch, smell and get my hands dirty with. More clay updates to come soon. 



"But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand." -Isaiah 64:8
