This is my textural project which I also ended up donating for the fundraiser. I first rolled out a slab of clay and the pressed in the textural design into the slab. I then used a mold I found to create the general shape of the plate with the textured slab. For glazing I did a purple underglaze and then tried to use an opalescent glaze over it but I didn't do it right I guess.
Rhythm would be principle because of the repeated design on the plate itself. Balance could be another principle because if you were to cut the piece in half, the sides would be the same, I made sure that that the rim of the plate was even all around. Proportion could also be principle because the plate is all even and uneven.
When I saw the patten of the stamp, it reminded me of scales, which is where I got the idea to try and glaze it to be oceanic colors with blues, greens, and purples. Then I decided to try out the opalescent glaze on top of the oceanic colors but I think I added too much because the whole thing just turned out the color of the opalescent.
I am not too proud of this piece. I think the glazing is what really ruined the piece for me. I also added too many layers of glaze that it took away some of the texture I pressed into the clay, making it not very textured which was the whole point of this piece.
