Problem:
Create 4 large
pieces using composite sectional throwing or the coil and throw method.
Objective: Learn the basic technique for
producing large scale forms on the wheel, to become familiar with coil and
thrown technique as well as sectional composite construction of wheel thrown
forms.
Strategy:
Make
several sketches of that explore variations in larger wheel thrown form for
expression of your personal aesthetic.
Produce 4
pieces that all have different variations on using the surface as a “canvas”
for personal expression. You may use the coil and throw method or the
thrown composite/sectional method, but all four pieces must be at least 20
inches tall.
Instructions:
Discuss
the drawings you have made with your instructor before beginning
Pay
attention to the timing when deciding to add or join pieces.
All
pieces should employ the use of slip for surface decoration in the leather hard
state.
IMPORTANT:
-Do not
allow water to collect on the surface of the clay while throwing at any time.
-Make
several passes over the surface of your form with a rib to compress joining and
connection points.
-Use
multiple colors of slip to decorate your pieces.
