Our first assignment was to make 24 different finished
bowls. Within this assignment I
researched a variety of different forms and styles. For some of my tighter forms I observed Ryan J. Greenheck’s
work. After making those I started
throwing some looser forms with no bottoms so I could then go in later and
rework the clay by pushing, pulling, and indenting the surface. For these bowls I was looking at Chris
Gustin’s vessels and some architectural structures such as The Bird’s Nest
National Stadium in Bejing, China.
