Starting off the year: Project #1 - Find 3 very different ceramics projects and save them to your Pinterest board or Drive. Find a way to use parts of those 3 images, plus a new idea of your own, to create an original ceramics piece. It may be the texture of a piece, or the glaze or the shape that draws you to it and use from each piece. Don’t take it too literal. Just use elements from the works to make something interesting of your own.
The Ceramics Center in Cedar Rapids is a great place to further your learning of clay. They offer a mobile clay lab for schools to use and we are looking to have them visit and do a Raku firing with the students in the next month.
