Dino Tea Set

(ameliabrooke)
Fall 2006

This final assignment for my handbuilding class was to make a tea set. I got my inspiration from a brontosaurus and her eggs. The teapot itself is made from hard slab and soft slab construction. i threw the cream/sugar duo functional pot on the wheel as well as the two cups. i altered all forms by adding soft clay to the bottoms to create the feet. all in all i am very pleased with the outcome, but i still dont think of myself as a contemporary ceramicist. in fact, i am attracted to this because i love dinosaurs, everything else is a little too modern for me :-\ earthenware cone 04. commercial glazes.

Alice Tea Pitchers

(ameliabrooke)
Winter 2005

Two pitchers, one made with an Alice (from Wonderland) on the side. Alice was made after dripped surface decoration and thick layer of majolica had dried. I then carved canals for her lines, then filled them with a tiny dropper of overglaze. I made this technique up because I didn't want her to drip along with the rest of the glazes. This way, when the majolica melted, it would trap her colored lines.

earthen... cone 04, both pitchers are 10" tall
