Pendants

Ceramic pendants.

The above are pendants also made with clay, they can be used as necklace charm, keychains and backpack clips. I have applied different impression of seashell that we were given in class to choose from. With the right technique such as time and effort clay can be manipulated directly into a variety of lines, forms and patterns. 

Rings, Pinch pots,

Ceramic shell rings.

On the above image is my hand with four rings inspired by seashells. They are made with clay which is starting to be more interesting to work with. I started with pinching and build upon the technique with bending, before moving into the construction. This has allowed me to explore the different ways in which clay can be shaped and also to express my creativity and bring all my imagination to life.   

Pinch pots, rings and pendants

This is my shell belle work after glazing.  

Here I am showing the last step of my shell belle work. These are my post glaze fired ceramics that includes three pinch pots, five pendants, and three rings. This was the last step of this project where we were using glassy coating on ceramics for decorating our shell belle work and give our work a smooth and gloss surface once it has been fired. Glaze has allowed light to pass through my ceramics for behind objects to be seen and has provided neatness without damage. Overall, this was the most exciting and interesting part of this project.
