I was inspired by Kaname Takada. I especially wanted to try his inlay technique. I used obsidian on these artworks and shiney black for the inside. I also used a black underglaze for the delay technique. The design that I used was to bring all of the very different looking pieces together. To make this I out an underglaze on the clay while it was wet and carved my design into the clay. I wanted to see what I could do to experiment with tea sets. I made a teacup, teapot, and a dysfunctional teapot. I wanted to experiment with these artworks. They are all obsidian black with curvy horizontal lines carved into the sides. I wanted to see if I could make a ceramic peice that was useful, or in the case of the broken teapot, something that interacted with water in an interesting way. I am very proud of the teapot and cup, but I really do not like the broken teapot.

For this artwork I used charcoal, paper, clay, carving tools, and glazes. To leave an impression on the clay, I made a charcoal drawing, made a slab, and placed the drawing face-down on the clay. After that I took a spoon and pressed the drawing into the clay with the spoon. Then the impression was there and I was able to carve out the leaf. I learned that using a charcoal transplant is a very useful tool, especially in slab artworks.
I used the artist skills of observation by using reference images for my artwork. I also used envision to predict what I would make and what struggles I would need to overcome. I used Hot Tamale, Light Rose, brown, and rose glazes.
