In Progress: Some things that inspired my piece was the use of the Meanders which are greek key designs, because when I was 11 I went to Greece and I really liked the look of th Meanders. The fish was inspired by a koi fish because I really like the fish and they was it looks. My process so far started by rolling out a slab and then building it into a cup. Then I began to paint the cup black and starting carving my design.
Finished: The process I had with my sgraffito piece was that I used a slab and made a cup. Then I painted it with underglaze and began to carve my design into it. Then I put it in the kiln and when it came out I put a clear glaze on it. I think the sgraffito process is very easy and not as complicated as some of the other projects that we did. My piece was successful with the design and the size. I would fix the cup and make it more of a mug instead of just a cup.

In Progress: One of my pieces I coiled and the other one I made on the wheel. The process of the coil piece is that I cut out a cardboard outline and tried to follow it. Then I began to build it up and smooth it out. The process for the wheel piece was that I just threw a piece of clay on the wheel. It took me a couple of tries to throw the piece on the wheel. Some difficulties I had were throwing on the wheel and the thickness of my coil piece. Some things that were successful were my out come of both of my pieces. I don't have a plan I am just going to put random designs on my pieces now. My plans have changed dramatically with the size of my wheel piece.
Finished: The process of pitfire and saggar is to dig a hole and line it with flammable materials. Then you wrap your piece in tinfoil and have lots of other things inside the tinfoil like dog food, salt, and saw dust. Finally you light the fire and wait for it to burn out and then cool off, then you can take your piece off. I feel like my piece was very successful even though it was all random. Somethings I would change would be the use of different materials. I burned dog food, salt, saw dust, egg shells, and wood. We used the leces pot. The history is that they are specimens of woven fabrics of a lace like character. I worked on one of the pigs and the houses. Register is the way a speaker uses language differently in different circumstances. Sgraffito is a form of decoration made by scratching through a surface to reveal a lower layer of a contrasting color, typically done in plaster or stucco on walls, or in slip on ceramics before firing.
