I chose Beatrice Wood because i love how eye popping the pieces are. They are just asking for attention.





The glazes she used go perfectly with the piece. They stand out and make a rare look.











 The gazes are different and they look amazing! They are eye catching and colorful.









   Beatrice Wood was born in California in 1893. She died in 1998. She bought a pair of baroque plates with a luster glaze. She wanted to find a matching teapot to go along with it, but was unsuccessful. Deciding to make the teapot herself, she enrolled in a ceramic class at Hollywood High School. This hobby turned into a career and became a passion.

                                             I used the wheel for my cup then i placed a handle on
                                       it. It ended up cracking in the beginning and luckily i was
                                      able to save it. My original intention was for it to be bigger.
                                      i used oatmeal and mottled brown glaze. Beatrice used the wheel
                                      to make her pieces. Her pieces are very funtional. My colors catch
                                     peoples attention because of the way it runs.  

                                          i used a slab and rolled a real leaf on to it. i cut it out and
                                      trimmed it up. the only thing i would change would to make
                                     bigger. My leaf has an earthy feel and its relaxed but pops at the same
                                    time. The green is the perfect ivy.

 
                                            I used a slab and foam slump for my bowl. i made it with the intention
                                   of using it to eat out of. my piece has different colors that attract attention                                              just like beatrices.

I glazed i believe 15 pieces. i chose these because i love all the colors and forms. My leaf is very earthy and gives off a nature vibe. My artist is very functional and pretty. i just wish i made all my pieces bigger. I learned to clean up the edges and make them all smooth. I'd describe my style as earthy, relaxed, and functional.
