The project that I feel reflects me most as an artist is my box. It's really not personal I've just always loved sharks. I just like that the box has a shark head coming out of the front and a dorsal fin on the top. Sharks have always been my favorite animal and I think it's cool that I made one as a project.
The project that I found challenging was the monster. I thought it was challenging because it involved pinch pots, slabs, coils, and a lot of slip and scoring. If i could do this project again I would probably make the head smaller and give it four long twisty legs. I'd also give it a big mouth with sharp teeth to go with the shark fin. I think the way it turned out was definitly a sucess though because it's kind of adorable.
My fruit goblet is the project that helped me grow and improve as an artist. This project helped me with the skill of pinch pots and painting.I didn't know what a pinch pot was before I started this project. Overall I'm pretty happy with the way that the goblet came out I just wish I would've put another coat of paint on the base of it.

My mustache teapot was my favorite project that I did in ceramics. Yes, I have used the skills that I used to make the teapot before. To make the teapot I just made six slabs and slip and scored them all together. Yes, I glazed my teapot with Tuxedo black glaze and did about three layers across all of it. I was extremely happy with the way that my teapot turned out.
