Wheel Project 1
making a vase on the wheel...pretty advanced stuff!
Wheel Project 2
this one was made on the wheel, and the design was carved onto the surface when it was more dry. Beautiful!
Lace pressed onto clay
texture tile
wedging clay
carefully wedge your clay to get rid of air pockets
Stamped Bowl
The artist creates a border around the edge of the bowl
Reversed Initials
Carve letters and numbers backwards so they print out forwards when stamped in clay!
Leaf stamp
The popping out leaf on the stamp creates an impressed image of a leaf on soft clay
Lisa Orr
LOVE her work! Very layered, thick glazes over raised surfaces with tiny pictures hidden all over the surface. (I've also met her--she's very nice!)
Patti Warashina
I loved her work when I was in college. Her focus in on figurative sculpture, very playful.
Adrian Saxe
He uses molds of gourds and fruits to create the bodies of his pots, then adds other elements--sort of a clay collage! This one has coral on the lid.
Michael Sherrill
This guy's teapots are amazing! Very complex...and functional, believe it or not!
"Scary"
This cup and saucer almost look like one sculpture!

This cup and saucer shows the inspiring word so well!
"Hungry"
This is a more sculptural cup and saucer

Woww Ms. Mahoney you put so much work into this website i likee
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with Lisa Orr's style in her ceramic pieces. I went to her website and saw other sculptures and plates and they are amazing! I want to learn how she does it.

I really like the sculpture done by Patti Warashina. I like that the head is disproportional to the rest of the body to give emphasis to that part. I also like that at first glance it appears to just be glazed with a solid green, however at closer look, there are other shades mixed in as well. I also think that the way she does not use a glossy finish adds to the piece.
