Ceramics II- Pikachu Box

One of the boxes I made for the final project in ceramics was a pikachu box.


As you can see, it's missing both of its ears. I had finished the project at home and then I brought them to school. Well, I took a left turn and two of my boxes went flying into the passenger door.

I attempted to reattach them to the pikachu with glaze. However... 












They fell off.

Ceramics II- Final Project

My final project in ceramics was three boxes.

Two of the boxes have pokemon on them. The third box (the smallest) has the former mascot of the Import Gaming store in Seattle the Pink Godzilla. Unfortunately I ran out of time an couldn't glaze it. 

I'll post more pictures of the boxes later and a story behind pikachu's missing ears.

Ceramics I- Pinch Pot Sculpture

One of my early pieces in ceramics at Kentridge. A panda holding an onigiri (Rice Ball) with a piece of bamboo.

Currently though, it holds a bunch of random things like tacks, book rings, and a lighter.

Ceramics- Teapot project

During ceramics in my last semester of high school I built two teapots (it was 3, but the first blew up in the kiln) and four cups. At the time I was building with a pokemon theme.

This was the second teapot I built, however, it was too small and I had to build a larger one for the assignment. I wish I had taken a picture of the first one because a running joke at the time was whether or not squirtle could learn self-destruct. Apparently it can.

This was the third teapot I made. I was in a bit of a hurry so there is no tail or back legs. I decided to use a pikachu as knob for the lid on the teapot.

If you look closely at the right ear you'll notice a bump around it. That's industrial strength ceramic glue. My mother, when she was talking to my aunt, was gesturing with her hands and knocked off the lid, breaking off the pikachu's ear.

There were originally four bulbasuar teacups, however I gave one of them away.
