My piece was created by making a pinch pot of sorts and creating a spout by smoothing my finger over one spot for awhile. I attached a simple handle (I did not forget to score and slip!). Once the actual piece was created, bisqued, and covered with a mysterious chemical by Ms. Sudkamp, we got to cover them in salt, copper, and other materials such as sticks, leaves, and copper wiring. Maybe it was because of not enough air space in between the tin foil I wrapped around the piece, but sadly, not many patterns appeared on the piece :( . While I was fascinated by the history of the process of firing by the Native Americans, since my piece did not work out the way I wanted or hoped for, I am hesitant to do it again. If I found a way to create a for sure way to have the patterns show up, I did find the process cool and would for sure, do it again! |
