As a Fine Arts student, my portfolio represents a varied cross-section of my work. These first three pieces are all hand thrown porcelain pieces and are high fired using mostly glazes I made. The bottom one features sprigs of various sea creatures that were highlighted with a high-fired underglaze color. I was working for mastery of the thrown form and these three pieces are just a few of the pieces that most satisfied my personal aesthetic. I find myself drawn to curves and have always enjoyed adding fine details to otherwise simple and utilitarian pieces. Unexpected results such as running glazes and pops of color are always a pleasure.
Hi Vanessa! I love the use of bright colors (the blue especially). You also have a great sense of balance in your designs, like the glaze placement in "Daring Glazed Bowl" and the placement of the sea creatures on "Sprigged Sea Creature Vase." I also think your photography looks very professional.
