This is my lidded project. It is 3.5 inches has the most narrow point, and 4 inches at the widest point. It is 4 inches tall. This project features a lid which I threw on the wheel. It is glazed with Sydney’s blue near the lip, on the lid, and inside of the jar, and with Forrest Cobalt on the bottom of the jar. A new skill I learned to make this was how to use tools to measure how big to make the lid, so that it would sit inside of the lip. I find this piece appealing because of the unique form: the jar gets gradually wider, then suddenly narrows at the neck. The form of the lid is also unique because the outer walls are taller than the rest of the lid near the handle. This form creates movement in a piece because the viewers eyes naturally follow the curvature of the walls of the jar. Overall, my lidded project gives me a feeling of fluidity, not only through the movement of the piece but through the glaze colors because they remind me of ocean colors -- especially at the thin line where the Sydney’s blue meets the forest cobalt.
