Tests and Practice

<div><p>Testing the imari gosu a bit more before I start cranking out the work... I should be getting in my frost cone 6 clay in soon. I ordered 150lbs from <a href="http://www.theceramicshop.com">The Ceramic Shop</a>. Im going to begin throwing and building the figures with it asap, as I am going to apply for grad school afterall. I've definitely decided on The Ohio State University. Im planning on using all my extra bisque to practice on so I can figure out how to better use the material. Hoping to finish it all this november, so expect a lot of updates this coming month. </p> <br/><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp0GQOaZun10VcB2YXvEkWa3iTqoAg5FH5ethptlesFRfYNQ8JIVCgdGTKJl1mUomw793gmo_lMCPpuHKHf1W3AaTOYEuFH8_ye6NzYk9vhYXg-R8YV6iXd_yTYUqt4maMle8RpBIH0DU/" /></div>

I'm trying to decide what kind of form to use to make the plates and tumblers. I want clean forms with sharp lines and smooth surfaces. I threw a few forms, and decided That I liked the foot of the tumbler, the way the rim of the plate comes in and frames the inside of the plate. I think I might implement the steep curved foot from the tumbler on the plate.<br /> <br /> Below are the original sketches. I'm imagining putting the drawing inside inside the plate so the ledge acts as a frame for it. The plate should be more of an object than a plate. The drawings on the tumbler, I'm imagining treating each plane as a separate panel for drawings.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjA3tJSG8S_Kf8FJS5QOTbvIToAXzNqVjhRULqenaCCiAhk9jemCorILWTsqQFqQiBc4Bh8wxU-syCXAfmQ1BDoju444GiKeyX2dBuEeCXiCJ-PeYD702eRfxu2QYcz1QLRnkfEa-bltw/s1600/the_vision.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjA3tJSG8S_Kf8FJS5QOTbvIToAXzNqVjhRULqenaCCiAhk9jemCorILWTsqQFqQiBc4Bh8wxU-syCXAfmQ1BDoju444GiKeyX2dBuEeCXiCJ-PeYD702eRfxu2QYcz1QLRnkfEa-bltw/s400/the_vision.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUO8D7V1mi2cwirB0zYNe5MVSP1JwB-2cEi07s_Lb3vqM90o9cCDoaGH7t0rqwiltUlVAdwha0qd6Ev53i81ErVNtFKHqWL4CVlvKckJ3P7oXCp57UDDSEJHkDhagReB37jP8Oqy5Kl6I/s1600/gift_of_love.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUO8D7V1mi2cwirB0zYNe5MVSP1JwB-2cEi07s_Lb3vqM90o9cCDoaGH7t0rqwiltUlVAdwha0qd6Ev53i81ErVNtFKHqWL4CVlvKckJ3P7oXCp57UDDSEJHkDhagReB37jP8Oqy5Kl6I/s400/gift_of_love.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br />
