Ceramic Collection


I have created ceramic pine cones from my collection project and placed them in order from small to large. I have used red clay to print my pine cones into the clay and create ceramic pieces of work. I have used clear glaze over the top of the pine cones to that you can see the detail of the carving and to give a shine to the pieces. Using sharp metal tools and using my pine cones as a reference, I was able to look at the detail and create nice effects with the tools as it went into the clay. What I like about the pieces I have made is the uneven and sharp edges, which gives the composition an interest. The white background makes the ceramic piece's stand out more and the light reflects on the glaze and shows the pure carving of the pine cones. Some of them I did did not turn out well, but I still used them in my final collection project.
