The artworks presented represent my growth as an artist by showing how my detail has improved. As you can see with my creature named Greg, I payed a lot of attention to the texture of the creature. I have also payed a finer detail to the smoothing process of the other artworks. I was trying…

Vipoo Srivilasa is an artist from Thailand, who now lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. His advise is to prioritize and plan ahead. I totally agree with the advice he gave and I can connect with him because we are both workaholics.

Recently, I have been working on different types of jars. They are very different in forms and lids. My most recent jar is a little hard to explain. It’s like a tripod when you start out at the base. But when you look at the top it is another tripod, only, it’s turned the opposite…

I am planning on making a series of jars of different shapes. I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do when we got back from Christmas break, so I just decided to finish my cups. Then I moved onto jars only because I thought they were neat looking. At first I only planned…

My slab building skills and my coiling skills are improving more than I expected. I am making jars now, and to build them I roll a slab, then I cut out a rectangle. Then I roll the rectangle slab to create a circular tube and connect the two parts together. I then place the tube…

I am in the process of making nine coffee mugs and or cups. I ran into the issue of the clay being to wet with one of the cups. It was collapsing and folding in very easily. so I put the slab on a ware board with some newspaper so I could work on it…

I took a big risk while finishing my recent project. The risk I took was reattaching the top and bottom parts of my piece. I had experience a major collapse and cave in of the bottom of my piece. So I cut it in half and focused on the detail and had to pay attention…
