ceramics in process

for the past couple of weeks, we have been learning ceramics. our task is to create a functional plate, bowl, and cup to represent someone we would like to eat lunch with. i chose my aunt. she is a teacher and loves to sew, so i created a plate that has a ball of yarn and needles on it. i am currently working on an apple as my bowl. i put two bowls together by slipping and scoring them, the i cut out a hole so you can eat out of it. my next step will be adding a stem leaf and worm to make it more realistic. my cup with be a spool of thread. when all my pieces are fired(hopefully they wont blowup!), i will glaze them. this gives them the color and look to make my final piece look exciting:)
