Rose Dish
Hand building techniques are focused on for these pretty and functional items! We start by learning about how to free-form a base. Many times it is usually the case that I have students spend lots of time carefully rolling out coils and smoothing things out in a very deliberate manner for a project involving a bowl or a dish, but this project allows for a looser, unrefined base. After the base has been created students must hand build a rose. While it may seem that it would be complicated and difficult, after watching me demonstrate how to do it students are surprised to see the simplicity of it all. A demonstration on how to form leaves is given as well, and after that students are free to create and design as they choose with these elements. An option is given as to whether to glaze or to paint their piece. The results are beautiful pieces of art that can serve as treasured jewelry, coin, or other small items holders.
