Shelby's Ceramics Portfolio

This project is meant to be a globe. This project took around three days to build. For the ball, I wrapped and rolled out a piece of clay around a ball of condenses newspaper. I then constructed a base for my globe to sit on.

I made this mug by creating a template, making a slab, and assembling the mug. The handle is a wood-like texture, resembling a tree. The snowy scene with presents and a snowman gives this mug a nice Christmas theme.

The slab method of ceramics was used in this project. I rolled out six different sized slabs and imprinted a wood-type design onto my slabs. I assembled the box, and I added a handle in the shape of a lily on a lily  pad... to go al ong with the nature theme. 

This is my Alebrije painting. I used several different colors and tried to represent the beautiful, vibrant culture behind Alebrijes and the souls they guide through life. The animal I chose to paint is a piglet, who has many colo rful d esigns on his body. 

I started this piece by making a template of how tall and wide to make it. I then made a slab, rolled the indention on top of it, and attached the two sides of the cylinder together. I pressed the bottom of the cyli nder  to get a three-legged  cylinder pot.
