IT'S ALL ABOUT SURFACE DESIGN

MISHIMA VASES

I say that over and over again to my clay kids.
I tell them anyone can make a pot,
which in drawing is like a blank canvas. 
It's what you put on the surface that makes it special.
So senior Yasmeen Pardo marbled half her vase form with our oxides, 
and the other side features her actual assignment,
an inlayed Mishima design.



Senior Erin Hsiao has pretty much put the same design on both sides for a more symmetrical piece.

These kids had to roll super thin slabs of porcelain the make a 2 sides vase form.
One of the hardest things they didn't account for was making a two sided pot stand.
There is not much there on the bottom that touches the table surface.
