For this project we were to make three bowls, at least one with the wheel, to go towards a charity event that our teacher was setting up called the empty bowl project where the money that comes in from the bowls being bought goes towards the organization. The first bowl in the picture is a bowl that i made that actually i tried to make look like an orange but it did not really work that well. That bowl and the second bowl pictured were actually two of four that i made really fast at the last minute in hopes they would be done before the charity but they came out of the kiln after so they were actually not done in time. The second one i did with the wheel which was pretty difficult but also really fun and i would definitely try doing more things with the wheel if i was ever given a chance. The only thing that i would really change for that bowl is maybe make it larger as i was nervous and didn't want to ruin it by making it huge. The third bowl i made which is the empty space picture up there because my first two bowls i forgot to take pictures of before the show and i cant find them any where now but if i do which is hopefully as it is my fav ill upload the picture. But my third bowl i used the same technique as we did for the tray so i got a styrafoam bowl and rolled out really long coils with the clay and slowly wound it up inside the styrafoam bowl have to score and slip the whole time so it wouldn't crack apart when it was fired. After i painted it with the blue that has the chunk flecks in it and put it over togo in the glaze kiln but i never saw it after that but i do feel like it turned out pretty well. The last bowl was a pinch bowl that was pretty little i did with my hands and then i smoothed it all out and drew out a flower over the bowl with the needle tool and then drew a yin and yang sign in the middle and did an xoxo design in the flower petals. When it was time for me to glaze this one i painted it pink glaze with the blue and white chunks in it and did the yin and yang blue and white i believe. I did not see this after it was in the glaze kiln eaither but i did really like it before so i feel like it turned out well hopefully i will find it
