For my theme this year, I chose to do contrasting colors. With this I glazed my projects with different colors, that contrasted each other, to emphasize different parts of the project.
Throughout the year I made a bunch of different projects, but for my theme I made three different bowls of different sizes and colors, one vase, four mugs, one plate, and a few other projects all having to do with contrasting colors.
I threw all of my projects on the wheel. This year I used different kinds of clay including vashon white, red clay, seamix and one porcelain. While throwing this year, I mostly used a small sponge. I liked using it to pull up so it is easy to pull up evenly and smoothly.
For the glaze on my projects I used different colors to contrast different parts of the project. For example, on a bowl I used rutile tan on the outside and tomato red on the inside. The different colors juxtapose the inside from the outside of the bowl.
Once I chose my theme, I started to think about where I was going to put each color while I was throwing it. This led to me thinking about the different parts of the project and the shape of the project as a whole and as different parts. The color added the emphasize to the different parts.
