Breath of Fresh Air Brooke Bailey Ceramics 1 Class of 2024
Ceramics was pretty new to me this year. I have only thrown on the wheel once before many years ago at a summer camp where I made a very strange looking bowl. My plan was to create a body of work that represented the outdoors. What caught my interest is while looking online for inspiration, was a mug with the handle shaped as a mushroom. I thought that was interesting so, for my first piece I decided to try to recreate a mug similar to the one I had seen. I made a second mug with tiny mushrooms all around it. I thought the two pieces would fit nice together with similar color schemes and shapes. For my third piece, I decided to paint a cylinder with a mountain landscape. I threw all three pieces and I then painted each of them with similar and contrasting colors. I hope that you have enjoyed looking at my pieces and enjoyed looking at a little piece of the outdoors.
