This is my choice #1 project. I chose to make a plate. My plate is 6.5 inches wide, and made of vashon white clay. It features dark cobalt, sydney blue, and white glazes. A new skill I used to make this was dipping techniques when glazing -- I would dip the plate at certain angles to get the sharp lines between colors that you can see. The places where the glazes blend, however, create a unique value as my plate has colors ranging from a very deep blue and gradually lightens to light blue -- then finally jumping to white. The value creates movement in my plate as well as the color changes guide ones’ eyes around the plate, in addition I like how the concentric circles on the base of my plate guide your eye’s out to the lip of the plate as well. This gives me a feeling of creativity because I find the plate to be abstract, and it makes me feel like an artist.
