my first ceramic project for the quarter - "mirror mirror on the wall"

we could do whatever we wanted and somehow it turned into this!

we then get to raku fire it and it turnes into burnt strange colours, very exciting!

Catching up on last quarter: Amanda's metal class!

The spray paint room in my building. It is special so no dust particles get in your paint. I used the smaller spray areas for my bowl but the big one for my table.

The big spray room!
